I've not pushed them, as basically they move the ini reader from
virt-builder to mllib.

I basically made use of the ini configuration style as used elsewhere.
Anything in particular that concerns you?

The idea is to have settings such as usernames, passwords, and maybe
also channel pools in a separate configuration, so they are not
shown in command line; this is similar to what is done in virt-customize
--password, and also --password-file in virt-v2v.

Right, fixed.
