Bug Description

I've been using vm-builder for a while. It's super cool, but it looks to me like the --tmpfs option doesn't actually do anything. When I grep for tmpfs in /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/VMBuilder, I only see one file, and all it is doing is adding the --tmpfs option. I couldn't find anything in there that was checking to see if that option had been passed or not, so it seems to not make much of a difference. Also, it definitely is creating files in /tmp when it is building my vms. Am I missing something?
