This is all very much WIP.
If you are going to play with this; I would suggest cloning the TestLab and LXC gems to vendor/checkouts and export GEMDEV=1. Chasing the master branch is the way to go for now.
If you want to see what is going on during all of this; open another terminal, locate the testlab.log file and proceed to tail it.
Example Labfile.chef_rubygem:
