chef-solo vagrant file listed in compute admin manual doesn't work with vagrant --pre

[Alan Horn]

Following instructions in http://docs.openstack.org/diablo/openstack-compute/admin/content/openstack-compute-installation-using-virtualbox-vagrant-and-chef.html

Section 6. "Get the chef-solo Vagrant file"

The file from URL :
curl -o Vagrantfile https://raw.github.com/gist/786945/solo.rb

Gives the following error on running 'vagrant up' :

You are using a feature that has been removed in this version. Explanation:

`config.vm.customize` now takes an array of arguments to send to
`VBoxManage` instead of having a block which gets a virtual machine
object. Example of the new usage:

    config.vm.customize ["modifyvm", :id, "--memory", "1024"]

The above will run `VBoxManage modifyvm 1234 --memory 1024` where
"1234" is the ID of your current virtual machine. Anything you could
do before is certainly still possible with `VBoxManage` as well.

Note that this error message will not appear in the next version of Vagrant.
