Libguestfs - Oct 2012 - v2v vmware converter

Hi Matt,

I was taking a look on v2v to implement vSphere and I have few questions:

1) the converter should be in: Sys::VirtConvert::Converter::VMWare ( or Vsphere)
?

2) What you think if instead to mess up with the xml converter we gonna use
   a XSL file that take the OVF file and transform it in KVM like xml file ? 


Cheers,
Francesco

What Perl library would you use for the XSL transforms?  Adding new
dependencies can be problematic (I'm thinking from a RHEL point of
view specifically, but also in general it adds a burden).
