os x compliance

[rweng]

I am currently using littlechef to configure my local machine. rbenv is one of my cookbooks. Although not being used for my local machine, it throws an exception. It seems, the libraries are not automatically included because I do not use the cookbook, but somehow the provider is required. Because the mixin and script_helpers was not required before, the provider throws an exception.

Right! I had this issue in a couple of other cookbooks due to the way/order that Chef loads in libraries/ code. Are you able to double check if the above patch gets the job done? Thanks!

This patch does eliminate the error that is thrown when the cookbook is synchronized to a node. It does not, however, make the cookbook run on OS X (at least I did not test that yet, though I am going to do that later).

I used chef-rbenv with this patch on an ubuntu machine, continues to work fine. So it should be safe to merge it in. I might send another pull-request later to provide support for OS X, if necessary.

Fletcher, your cookbooks are among the most stable and well designed cookbooks I've seen, thanks for that.

@rweng Thanks for your feedback! I'll be trying this cookbook out on a mac in the next week or so and will try to update with anything missing. The mac should be a first-class supported platform. If you find anything further, just open a new issue and we'll deal with it.
