Qemu-nbd does not perform well with older versions of qemu due to
the lack of writeback caching mode. It also only builds qcow2 images
and there is a desire for raw image support. Finally, qemu-nbd makes
it very difficult to build images concurrently due to the somewhat
opaque nature of how it selects a /dev/nbd# device. losetup, on
the other hand, makes this process very straight forward.

This is a necessary but not complete step towards supporting Fedora and Suse
distributions. Further work is needed (e.g. to quiesce daemons on
installation).

Per http://wiki.openstack.org/ProjectTestingInterface we enable all
of the commands except build_sphinx because we do not have any sphinx
documentation as of yet. Includes babel support though there are no
properly internationalized strings just yet.
