This version looks good to me. If Dan is fine with it as well i'll commit it.

Yes, this looks ok to me. Though I'd like to see a man page written
in POD format too....

+=head1 NAME
+
+virt-pack - convert virtual machines from an image descriptor into VMware(tm) format
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<virt-pack> [OPTION]... IMAGE.XML
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+B<virt-pack> is a command line tool for converting virtual machines from an
+XML image descriptor C<IMAGE.XML> (L<virt-image(5)>) to a VMware(tm) format machine. 
+The basic configuration of the virtual machine are taken from the XML descriptor (e.g., 
+disk image files, memory, name, vcpus) and a new VMware(tm) configuration file is created using
+these values. The conversion process requires that all necessary kernel modules and configuration 
+to boot using VMware are completed prior to running this tool. 
+
+
+=head1 OPTIONS
+
+Any of the options can be omitted, in which case B<virt-pack> will use defaults when required.
