Ok, so for your terms vps is actually a typical virtualized cloud environment. The core is not all large named providers so by the goals of the libcloud project yours should be welcomed.
+1 from me.

We act as an Iaas provider, like amazon ec, rackspace etc. We prefer on our side to use VPS term rather cloud one for such service (in France cloud market is not yet mature as in America). nodes, sizes, location, images and even disks and network resources are typical concepts that our architecture is acting on. we provide nowadays public cloud services, we will provide private ones in a short term (and will link to private ip address in libcloud node definition). We have also projects in development around other infrastructure components virtualization (storage, network components). I hope this short answer can convince, a little bit more, that we could be typically a good candidate for such libcloud integration.
