-Query guest architecture
-------------------------
-
-Need a way to query a binary or library file for its architecture.
-Using objdump or readelf?
-What about non-ELF files (eg. Windows, BSD).
-
-To do this properly requires some serious logic, eg. to cover Linux
-and Windows we'd need objdump and i686-pc-mingw32-objdump, and more to
-cover a.out, COFF and 64 bit Windows.  Therefore this cannot be done
-inside the daemon, and should be done by a separate, external program
-similar to virt-inspector.
-
-Probably we should go all the way and have virt-inspector able to
-determine kernel and userspace architectures of guests.

 of adding drives and mounting.
