The reason that I did it this way is b/c it calls qemu convert under the 
covers and a-c doesn't know or care what formats it supports.  So if 
more formats are added to qemu convent, or we switch it to useing 
virt-convert (which we should probly do when virt-convert becomes more 
mature) there will be minimum code changes.  Would be trivial to add 
extra logic however it seemed a better implementation to me.

try --vmem=int --vcpu=int i think b/c their integers you need the = sign.

I guess this would be a good idea since we extend it.  However not sure 
if the users care or not.
