ACK, this matches the same no_verify parameter supported for the generic
'remote' driver, which is nice!

Docs in the code are nice. Docs on the website are even nicer !

If you have time, could you send a patch adding a page for the VMWare
driver to the website. The website is generated from the .html.in files
under the docs/ directory. Simply create a docs/drvesx.html.in file 
and list it under 'Documentation -> Drivers -> VMWare ESX' in the
docs/sitemap.html.in file.  Even if it it merely gives a couple of 
example URIs for ESX that would be a great start. Anymore info that
might be useful to users is a bonus...
