Using KNIFE_HOME env to allow multiple knives on same machine

[aeris]

Hi,

Here is a patch for knife to allow multiple knives on same machine.
This is very usefull for admin managing multiple networks with one distinct chef for each.

• for multiple commands

export KNIFE_HOME=~/.chef/network1
knife client list
knife cookbook upload apache

• for single command

KNIFE_HOME=~/.chef/network2 knife client list

This is shameless I know, however I've written a plugin for Knife that will allow you to do just this: https://github.com/greenandsecure/knife-block

I'd be interested in your thoughts
