So is there a difference between "libvirt XML" and "virtimg
XML"?

I have been tinkering around with some of the python-virtinst code to
convert the appliance-creator generated xml to vmware, however the code 
is not very straight froward and Im not seeing any good doc on it.

I am mainly getting confused between the virt-inst and virt-convert code 
as they seem to have similar functionality.  Virt-inst seems to use 
ImageParser and UnWarem, and virt-convert uses vmcfg and some other 
templates that are confusing.

What I want to do is creating an IMAGE object that describes the config 
then use it to generate the xml files.

What should be the best way to do this?
