cf420b2174 vm.mk: add vm/.bare-grub{,-efi}
Some images will now be better off with GRUB;
rework ve/.bare while at that (splitting the
image targets appropriately).

b214d5c18e vm.mk: fixed thinko regarding lilo arches
A classic brown paper bag bug: this was typed in a hospital
and that commit was a sick one indeed, the condition should
have been the opposite.

Reported-by: Ildar Mulyukov <ildar@altlinux.org>
Closes: #31982

27c912ed0f vm.mk: don't install lilo for non-x86
...as it's x86-specific.

a18295f223 {lib,conf.d}/{ve,vm}.mk: shift the real targets
lib/*.mk aren't going to be parsed for build targets
in the near future; and the early placement of those
targets was superseded by a dedicated configuration
snippet directory so just move these bits there.

e52e21781f actually useful vm/icewm
See http://www.opennet.ru/openforum/vsluhforumID3/86239.html#1
for a query that has led to this one; in particular,
- xdm dropped (won't log in root and there are no users yet);
- network is brought up and configured via DHCP by default;
- apt-get works out-of-box;
- default image size is twice the chroot size.

90be07fbf8 initial conf.d/vm.mk
After we have built a bare virtual machine image successfully
some variations are due, and these are to be described here.

75f7c62bd1 initial build-vm feature
Yes, mkimage-profiles is now able to build VM disk images.
So far the support is pretty basic:

- a single hard drive image with a single partition/FS
- only stock root password is configurable
- LILO is hardwired as a bootloader

The resulting images tend to boot under qemu/kvm though.

Please see doc/vm.txt for the warning regarding additional
privileges and setup required.  This was started back in
February but I still hoped to avoid sudo/privileged helper
(and libguestfs is almost as undistributable as can be)...

Thanks:
