[Libguestfs] [PATCH] virt-v2v: Support for Converting VirtualBox Guests

[Marko Myllynen]

Hi,

attached is an updated [1] patch for virt-v2v to support converting 
VirtualBox guests with VirtualBox Guest Additions [2] installed. With 
the patch applied a VirtualBox RHEL 6 guest with Guest Additions can be 
converted with the steps documented in the manual page.

I've tested this patch on a RHEL 6.2 host running VirtualBox 4.1.8 using 
a RHEL 6.2 guest, the guest works as expected on libvirt/KVM and all 
traces of Guest Additions except for few log files were removed. This 
version uses VirtualBox Guest Additions configuration file to locate the 
script to uninstall [3].

If it would be possible to skip some of the needed steps and support 
VirtualBox directly from the command line that'd be great - if so, 
please adjust the patch as needed.
