+Grow and shrink existing guests.  The main problem comes with

+Change libguestfs and libvirt to do the right thing, so that multiple

+For multi-level disk images such as live CDs:

+
+It's possible with libguestfs to recursively look for anything that
+might be a filesystem, mount-{,loop} it and look in those, revealing
+anything in a disk image.
+
+However this won't work easily for VM disk images in the disk image.
+One would have to download those to the host and launch another
+libguestfs instance.
