When I get around to it, I'm going to change virt-sparsify to do
in-place sparsification, which *should* now be possible (at least with
some underlying disk image combinations).  This would work with any
Windows guest including XP since it'll be using a recent Linux kernel
+ recent virtio-scsi + ntfs-3g.
