Bug Description

"vmbuilder --help" gives usage information common to all hypervisors / distros.

Most options are hypervisor/distro-specific and are documented through (for example) "vmbuilder kvm ubuntu --help".
"vmbuilder --help" should point to this specific sub-help to make it more discoverable.
