ah ok, It would be nice if you could just optionally append it to the
end of the command ie. virsh snapshot-create 1 myname

thanks for putting that patch together and getting that fixed.
Something else I ran into as an aside was that if the driver type in
the xml wasn't set it wouldn't create the snapshot.  It would be cool
if the code could detect the image type instead of relying solely on
that xml attribute(?).

Cheers,
Stephen
