[Thincrust-devel] [patch] act - ec2 conversion option for appliance-creator

[Joey Boggs]

Updated patch with --type rather than --appliancetype

Also added man page entry for the --type option

In process of creating a man page for ec2-converter


BK, can you try it again and see if you're getting any errors now?
