Looks like so long as you give it a --from=<path to rootfs.image dir> it
should work.

The new build system sticks those images into dirs under src/build/images/*

If you run ./new_build_image.sh, you'll see it print this at the end:
"To convert to VMWare image, outside the chroot, do something like:"
"  ./image_to_vmware.sh --from=${OUTSIDE_OUTPUT_DIR}"
