Why isn't this called virt-convert? I don't see any actually "unpacking"
going on here.

More generally, I'd like to see this be a lot more general, instead of
hard-coding for vmx. Ideally 'virt-convert' would be a simple shell that
would call out to .../virtinst/formats/vmx.py (or whatever) to handle
the details. There's already Unware code there, shouldn't we re-use
details wherever possible?
