Note that it will not offer (functional, or any) write support.

I prefer "mtools" or "guestfish" for formatting and populating a virtual
disk image.

None of those are easy ways, admittedly -- I'm not offering some
examples right now exactly because I have to sit down and think about
them every time I need them. :) If there's interest in such commands, I
could hack up something, but then please give me some specs, and I'll
have to work on these things in the morning (while my brain is still not
mush).

Thanks
