[libvirt-users] VirtualBox + Virsh

[Julian Zhou]

hi Peter,
If it wasn't compiled with VBox support, it would not say this:
Compiled with support for:
  Hypervisors: QEMU/KVM LXC UML Xen LibXL OpenVZ VMWare *VirtualBox* Test

Furthermore, checking in the comments of the link, I find it is a 
duplicate of this one: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libvirt/+bug/1103721 Which 
clearly states that it is fixed and as in raring. I'm on trusty right now...

Regards,
Julian Zhou
