Instructions on how to use the feature

This is a short overview of how the new feature can be used.

I have attached a short overview of how this feature can be used.  This depends on another new feature, which has also be committed upstream, that allows the vm-gahp to execute a helper script to generate the libvirt XML.  In order to use this feature, the configuration option LIBVIRT_XML_SCRIPT in condor_config should be set to the path of the compiled yacc parser, generate_xml, in the condor_examples directory.  That parser should be built as part of the condor build process.

This is a test case for QCOW images for KVM jobs.  The path to "mkqcow.sh" should be changed to the appropriate path on your system; this script is in the condor_examples directory.
