[virt-tools-list] [PATCH] virt-convert: decompress the .gz files before converting

[Lin Ma]

The OVF specification v1.1.0(page 15) indicates that "Each file
referenced by a File element may be compressed using gzip
(see RFC1952)."

In this case the .gz files should be decompressed first before
converting through qemu-img.
