Nicely done! Thank you James. I think the SSL transport is a welcome and
uncontroversial addition to the base images.
On a side: Something is afoot in bootstrap-vz, I have recently pushed
an integration
testing branch
<https://github.com/andsens/bootstrap-vz/tree/wip-integration-testing>,
which right now successfully tests virtualbox wheezy images (oldstable and
unstable are failing atm) - it's been a long time coming and it's far from
done, but I'd love to hear if anybody'd have some feedback.

Kind regards
Anders
