VManager - A frontend that makes QEMU easy to use.

Format: At the moment I'm providing two formats - tar.gz package that works on all linux distros, and Arch package.

Dependiences:
-qemu (necessary)
-zenity (necessary)
-ksh (necessary)
-qemu-arch-extra (opcional on ArchLinux)

Dependiences on FreeBSD:
-qemu
-zenity
-bash

(old) NOTE! Installation won't create desktop or application link. To run it you must type in terminal "vmanager" command
or create you own link to this command.

Path for 32 bit OSes (necessary if you have 32 bit os):
# rm /opt/vmanager/arch && echo "i386" >> /opt/vmanager/arch

Installation:
Arch package: # pacman -U <path to Arch package>
tar.gz package: # cd / && tar xzvf <path to tar.gz package>
Debian package: I'm don't providing debian package, because I'm not use debian.

Installation in other OSes:
NOTE!: This is only for versions older than 0.13!
FreeBSD:
(type this before installing): # mkdir -p /opt
Now install tar.gz package: # cd / && tar xvf <path to tar.gz package>
Path installation: # mv /usr/bin/vmanager /usr/local/bin/vmanager
More patches (you have to do it): delete "-enable-kvm" and "-cpu host" parts from /opt/vmanager/args
Done.

Using other architecture for VMs:
To do this you must:
on Arch: install qemu-arch-extra package and edit /opt/vmanager/arch file
on other distro/OS: edit /opt/vmanager/arch file

What I'll add in 0.13:
-support for FreeBSD without patches
-support for ArchLinux32 and ArchLinuxARM
-importing virtual machines

News in v0.14:
-repaired non-running vms on FreeBSD
-added icon to application menu

Bugs that I can't fix (bugzilla):
-BGFDB-001: Files or directories which names contains space are unsupported.


Used file extensions:
tar.gz  - package
pkg.tar.zst - Arch package
deb - Debian package (yet not available)
rpm - RedHat package (not available)
tar.xz  - source code (not available, because source code is installed to /opt/vmanager with package)

Should I move project to python 2 to get more portability?
