Comment 4 for bug 845208

Thanks Avishai for taking a look. The head of my branch [1] has your json patch in it. That is a much better way to handle writing out the json.

Regarding the '-j' parameter, that is intentionally left off as I switched over to using the 'json_attribs' property in the client.rb due to the fact chef-client starts up automatically when installing from packages. Using the 'json_attribs' property lets me support both the gems and packages install types with the same approach.
