This is indeed interesting and a CLI would be most useful from a
software appliance standpoint.

Add rPath to this list.  I am working on this packaging righ tnow.


One thing I am curious on.  The kernel modules... Are there any
intentions to upstream them? I know the virt I/O bits could probably
eventually replace some of these (vmblock/vmnet).  I am guessing if
there was a desire to get the vm* drivers upstream, earlier rather than
later would be best...
