  Description     : OS image creation tool

Generic image creation tool:

It comes in two variants:
 * snf-image-creator: A user-friendly dialog-based program
 * snf-mkimage: A non-interactive command-line program

Unlike Oz, it takes as input, media that represents a hard disk (a block
device, an image file or the host system itself) with an installed OS on
it. It snapshots the hard disk, performs various cleanup tasks on the
snapshot (like virt-sysprep), shrinks the snapshot and finally dumps the
final prepared image on a local file or uploads and registers it with a
Synnefo deployment. It can fully operate on Linux, Windows and FreeBSD
input media. On Windows it can automatically install the needed VirtIO
drivers and perform sysprep. It can also be used to create an image out
of the Linux host system itself (host bundling process).
