Michael Shigorin 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:

Эта фича конфигурирует создание образа дистрибутива, включая работу
с субпрофилями -- которая сейчас нужна только дистрибутивным целям.

Дополняет финальную стадию сборки (lib/, scripts.d/)
и тесно с ней связана.
