Since a bunch of months me, Adrian and Mattias are working hard to release 
the jclouds virtualbox api.

I've finally discovered that vbox CLI used vbox API to offer all the 
operations - vboxmanage CLI - and probably this will speed up our 
implementation:

In particular:
    VirtualBoxManager.getSessionObject().getConsole().getGuest().executeProcess(execName, 
flags, arguments, environment, userName, password, timeoutMS, pid)
will be useful to *export ip address* instead of using a Statement like the 
one we have at the moment based on *vboxmanage guestproperty enumerate 
"$VMNAME" --patterns "/VirtualBox/GuestInfo/Net/0/V4/IP" | awk '{ print $4 
}' | cut -c 1-14.*
and to remove the *udev* crap from the vm, for debian-based os.

Unfortunately it will not help us using:
    VirtualBoxManager.getSessionObject().getConsole().getGuest().updateGuestAdditions(source, 
flags)
cause according to the vbox devs this feature is buggy.

Ciao,
Andrea
