I think I'm running into a problem packing a Windows instance with a Chef
provider where the knife.rb file being generated appears to be encoded as
the standard Windows UTF-16 with a BOM which causes Chef to choke because
Chef is expecting a UTF-8 encoded file.

I am running this with Packer 1.1.0, but with an older Chef of 12.19.36 due
to various cookbook problems.
I am assuming Packer is generating the knife.rb file.
1. Is this correct?
2. Any idea on how I could change the encoding of the knife file?
Regards,
Steve
