[Openstack] Nova VMware support improvements

Right now I'd mostly like to know what the reasoning was behind making
the driver only pick the first available local datastore, rather than
making it configurable?  Also, on
http://nova.openstack.org/vmwareapi_readme.html it mentions
nova.network.vmwareapi_net for vlan networking support, but it doesn't
appear to actually exist in the code - am I missing something?

At present I'm just evaluating OpenStack, but support for configurable
vmware storage options is one of the first things I'd look to add if
it gets picked up.

Right now my Python foo is somewhat lacking, but I'll happily
contribute what I can when the need arises.

Thanks,

Graham
