Done, thanks.

I installed windows on SPICE+QXL machine without any additional drivers
and it works.  I wouldn't be worried about that.  Looking at the distros
in osdict.py most of the distros have that drivers already and if they
don't, I guess it will work anyway (looking at the beforehand mentioned
windows), so I don't think there will be much noise about that.
