I'm actually not that interested in tying in with yum updates etc.  I'm just 
looking for a tool that might help with managing LVM snapshots in general - 
and specifically for managing snapshots of VMs.  Something I could perhaps say 
have take a snapshot every X hours and keep the latest Y snapshots.
