Mark,

That's a great development. Virtualbox has less requirements with regard to specific CPU flags, KVM is really slow without hw virtualization whereas Virtualbox is usable on older CPUs.

It also means I can do gitian builds together with other running virtualbox instances. KVM and Virtualbox don't play along well.

I had some difficulty setting up and maintaining my own gitian build system. So in the time-honored tradition of scratching my own itch, I recorded the necessary steps into a makefile so that doing a gitian build is a simple as "cd contrib/vagrant && make", on any platform provided that you have the necessary dependencies installed.

I hope that others find this useful. I have submitted these scripts as pull-request #1597 on github.

Cheers,
Mark Friedenbach
