I think the natural thing todo here is to make it part of the virt-manager
GIT repository, alongside virt-install, etc. I think there will be plenty
of scope for code sharing here, and it could also facilitate virt-manager
initiating bootstrapping on the fly. I think virt-bootstrap is an acceptable
name for it. So perhaps make a proposal on the virt-tools mailing list.
