Bug Description

Actually there's support for the following hypervisors : xen, kvm, vmw6, and vmserver

Since KVM needs VT instructions, and Ubuntu doesn't support Xen Dom0 anymore, it would be great to support (k)qemu too, especially for people without hardware VT instructions on their CPU.

Moreover, kvm userspace tools are very similar to qemu's tools, so I think that it wouldn't be too hard to implement (k)qemu support into vmbuilder utility.

Thanks for the bug report. Wouldnt (k)qemu be able to read the same images as made for kvm?
