Suggestion: provide a mechanism to delete/manage configuration files #14

I like the principle behind the httpd_config resource. I would like for it to be able to delete files, as well. Also, allow setting owner/group/permission. A few configuration files might be root-only; Apache should only be able to read those before dropping privileges.

Also allow linking or copying configuration files in /etc/httpd/conf.d . Many RPMs drop their configuration file only there, and you may not necessarily want to manage all of them with chef.

Looking at the source code, I saw that the :delete action already exists. Could it be added to the README? The other requests still hold, of course.

Sure. I can tack owner/group parameters on there very easily.

Also providing a way to link configuration files from the standard /etc/httpd/conf.d directory would be very helpful.

The standard paths are purposefully disconnected so that nobody gets hurt during package upgrades. -s
