Hm, inject_file is supposed to be tied into instance creation in the API.  If it's not, we have some code missing from API.  Ed Leafe did this work IIRC, as we use this here at Rackspace.  Wonder if some code got dropped at some point or if it was just never completely finished.

With the current feature set it seems like the only time that you can inject a file is during other api actions similar to instance creation.
