The attached patch adds network configuration options to koan so that

do
let ip='vmnum + 16'
domU="myvm-${vmnum}"
koan -v -s cobbler -n -p centos5-xen -V $domU -P vgxen00 -A

While I could add the systems to cobbler with a similar loop then
install using a system, I don't really want to track all of these VM's
in cobbler. Some are throw-away. Some come and go too often for it
to be useful. "Just use DHCP" is not the answer, due to a number of
issues, both technical and historical.

Thanks for the patch!
I would perhaps change it to only override the settings that are
specified on the options line (i.e. not None), though this looks good to me.
I will look into applying this shortly for 0.9/1.0.
We also need to add the option for a few more overrides into koan, for
when the profile is mostly correct but the koan
user doesn't have access to change the profile. I believe putting
--virt-type back in koan was one of those things.
This also provides a good opportunity to cleanup and expand the koan
docs with a few basic use cases.
