    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:
