-This copy of kvm-init-script has a bugfix from the one at 
-http://www.pkgcore.org/~ferringb/kvm-example-conf-funtoo
-It also adds printing the vnc port number to the "Starting..."
- message.  This makes it easier to know the port # to connect to with 
- vnc viewer , etc.  Usefull info when you run several vm's at the same time.
-
-
-the instructions are quite simple.
-
-
-	cp kvm-init-script /etc/init.d/kvm
-	cp kvm-conf.example /etc/conf.d/kvm.example
-
-
-Edit the kvm.example changing mac address, vnc port, etc. as needed.
-You can see I have several OTHER_ARGS= lines pre-defined, so that it is easy to
- switch the boot up options by just commenting/uncommenting the desired line.
- 
- Hmm, this could probably be extended to accept startup options that can select
- 	which OTHER_ARGS=line to use for the startup.
-
-Save it to /etc/kvm.instance-name 
-
-create the init script instance with a matching name
-
-	ln -s /etc/init.d/kvm /etc/init.d/kvm.instance-name
-
-then start it;
-
-	/etc/init.d/kvm.instance-name start
-	
-It also responds to stop, reboot (which sends the vm the reboot signal,
-   so it can do a proper shutdown/reboot).
-   
-It can also be added to different run levels using rc-update.
