The windows converter installs the firstboot scripts in this order:

add_firstboot_script
unconfigure_xenpv

add_firstboot_script
unconfigure_vmwaretools
add_firstboot_script
configure_network_interfaces
install_firstboot_powershell "v2vnetcf.ps1"
add_firstboot_script
-> the script that polls for "netkvm.sys" with Get-NetAdapter,
then calls New-NetIPAddress
Because of this, if the guest is supposed to have static IP address(es),
they are set by the "v2vnetcf.ps1" firstboot script quite late during
first boot.
It's more comfortable for users if the network is usable from an earlier
point of the first boot, so register "v2vnetcf.ps1" in priority group 2500
(the default is 5000), moving the script to the front.
