libgusetfs tools and virt-sparsify excerpt: Don't forget the virt-sparsify tool again

libguestfs tools and virt-sparsify

I missed the tool so much that I've been re-google for key word "qcow2 compress", "qcow2 space claim", "libguestfs compress" and etc. for a whole day!!!

Here's the manpage: http://libguestfs.org/virt-sparsify.1.html

As it is generally okay to use vimdiff as an alternative for kdiff3, A gui tool is better suited for desktop workflows. Known that MobaXterm is shipping a gui diff tool named MobaDiff. But it only appears in the windows right click context menu. Find the real application name takes me some time to search in the windows registry. "MobaRTE.exe", which is the one invoked by HKCR\*\shell\MobaDiff. And it was invoked with "-contextdiff" switch to show MobaDiff UI, while when the switch is "-contextedit" it shows MobaTextEditor.
