[et-mgmt-tools] cobbler system add

[drew einhorn]

I hoping that Real Soon Now it will create a VM to order with lots of
custom vmware settings  via ks_meta variables.

At the moment I'm hung up on VMware API problems, so it doesn't do
anything useful yet.  The APIs either won't install or puke
after they are installed.  I can generate .vmx files to order, but
scp and ssh commands to install them on the VMware server,
either require permanently granting too much access to the server or
you have to authenticate yourself several times.

Pretty sure I understand most of the values you python script
prints out.

But what are:  parent, depth, virt_type, and virt_path?
