Since we are using 'vmx' as an input format type, we
should probably also use it as the name of the output
format (not 'vmware').

Doesn't look like optparse imports need to be here.

Hmm, might it be better just to do ImageParser.parse_file here,
and if it throws an exception, log it and return False?

Looks fine.

Drop this change, it would break passing 'vmx' as the input
format which is current behavior.

I'd prefer if these were moved out of the class definition. For
example, how they are listed in the virt-image parser file.

Now, I'm pretty ignorant of how vmx files work, but
wasn't virt-pack writing separate descriptor files
for each disk? The above just seems to lump them
in the same file, is that fine?
  
Also, can you rediff the patch against latest upstream?
I made some small changes to the virtconv stuff that
will collide with a couple sections of this patch,
nothing major though.

Thanks,
Cole
