This is quite clever. I don't see the sources for fsimage (the host program)
anywhere though - it would be a lot more useful if one could tinker with both
the host and the guest sides. This can be made to cover everything except
resizing qcow images (and there is already work on that particular front
elsewhere).
Could be especially useful for manipulating disk images on Windows hosts.
