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.

307fb51f15 conf.d/test.mk: experimental stuff went here
Some images were unbuildable (at least without special setup,
like ve/centos), unusable or just not useful in any meaningful way
(like distro/live-isomd5sum); as these tend to get any attention
during experiments, I decided to put them together in a separate
configuration file that would be effectively skipped if DEBUG
is not requested.

09be84beee initial vm-{net,ssh} features
A virtual machine isn't very useful if there are no means
to access it; let's bring up the basic networking and provide
root SSH access via pre-existing public key.

As the remote access with known default credentials is roughly
equivalent to just lending one's VMs to anyone with network
access to it, the fallback root password is now exterminated;
you have to provide one (or a long enough random string
if you plan to use keys only, see e.g. apg utility).

0a5f164d65 cleanup, build-vm: mutual support
It appears that reusing installer-feature-*-stage3 packages
is perfectly fine with VM images; these just need to be removed
after the package scripts they carry have worked out.

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.
