First phase of project is to provide following scripts:

<h2>Conventions</h2>

  #  [project directory layout]
  #  [virtual machine directory]
  #  [monitor locking]
  #  [snapshot management]

<h2>features</h2>
  
  *  desktop integration - provided with SPICE client, you get seamless mouse integration, clipboard sharing and automatic screen resolution adjustment. You may need to install spice-guest-tools into virtual machine to get this functionality.
  *  sound - you get VM sound automatically redirected to your spice client
  *  usb - you can connect host usb devices using [vws] script or connect devices from the machine where your spice client is run via its GUI.
  *  cdrom - you can "insert" or "eject" iso images into virtual machine CD-ROM drive
  *  remote access - by default VM is accessable via localhost only. If you set 
     environment variable SPICE_PASSWORD to some password, you can access VMs via network using this password.
  *  snapshots - you can start VM in snapshot mode, where no changes to VM filesystem is save after VM shutdown. You can have stack of on-disk snapshots of known-good vm state, which can be restored anytime (but only powered-off vms can be snapshotted or reverted).
  *  moving around - you can copy vm to other host (when it is powered off) just copying its files.
  *  Easy import. You can create VMs based on virtual disk images from VMWare, Virtual box, virt-manager and so on. Any image, understandable by qemu-img would do
