Hello Stefan, Kevin

I don't want to diversify my GSoC applications. I thought I should do my
best of
supporting fully VHD and add asynchronous io into block/vpc.c via
coroutines. I
noticed that there is "splitting hard disk images" feature in VHD
specification. I
have take a look of block/raw-win32.c and guess there isn't this feature in
block/vpc.c.
I am wondering whether what I learned is right??
