That is what I was also thinking about for some time, but first we  
should then agree on an universal way of saving configurations (this  
was already been touched by the list some time ago, couldnt find the  
mails by now). As I am pretty much satisfied with saving the data in  
an xml file, I would suggest this way, but we shouldnt only focus on  
Mac OS X part, but also on other platforms.

I really like the idea of sharing Qemu VirtualMachines with others  
including configs, vm states a.s.o. over several platforms. That  
would also mainly feature the idea of the FreeOSZoo.
