The main thing is to be able to run Microsoft's sysprep tool
on a Windows guest.

Chris wrote some code to do this already in this branch of oz, but
it's very complex:

See in particular:
https://github.com/clalancette/oz/blob/win2k8customize/oz/Windows.py

People will also want to set the hostname (--hostname option) and run
scripts (--script option).
