How can I add an image file type to the list of image types that
libguestfs supports? I see raw, qcow2, vmdk, ect. I would like to
add support for a new type. Where should I begin?
libguestfs doesn't support any disk types as such. It just uses
whatever qemu supports, so the place to add a new disk type would be
in qemu:
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=tree;f=block;hb=HEAD
No special action is required in libguestfs; it will just inherit
access to the new format once qemu has it.

virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines. Boot with a
live CD or over the network (PXE) and turn machines into Xen guests.
