Vagrantfile monkeypatch of Vagrant's chef solo provisioner to allow databag folders

Vagrant_monkeypatch.rb

CHEF_REPO = "../chef_repo" # path to chef repo, 
# because Vagrantfile is normally in application repo, not in chef repo.

# use it like this:
#  config.vm.provision :chef_solo do |chef|
#    chef.cookbooks_path = "#{CHEF_REPO}/cookbooks"
#    chef.roles_path = "#{CHEF_REPO}/roles"
#    chef.data_bag_path = "#{CHEF_REPO}/data_bags"
#    #... etc
#  end

Hmm, it looks like data_bags_path is now in Vagrant
