A bit more that I forgot to add: I realize that the jailtime images
aren't installers, they're ready-to-run systems.  So the real goal would
be to transfer the contents of a jailtime .img file into a virtual disk
on the dom0.  But I'm not sure how to do that (Can I just dd it into a
zfs volume?  Surely not?), and once I solve that problem, how do I
create the xml config file that virt-install would create automatically
if I were booting from an ISO image?
