The Api comes with some good tools already
I already submitted a patch for power control and portgroup change to cobbler during 1.5 release.
The guest Id change module that I wrote is owned by Racemi who just layed me off on Monday so I would have to rewrite it before giving it up to gpl. I still have all the source code but I cannot open source it. It basically finds the correct guestid from the host and matches it with the supplied profile/distro being installed by cobbler. This is important because some distros do not install correct if using a different guestid.
Since I hate perl, I will probably redo all my vmware modules in Jython.

Its pretty easy once you understand the Vmware API.
What do you guys thing about using jython for controlling vmware instead of perl in koan or libvirt?

I have some pretty good experience with the api. I have code to do the following tasks.

Cool! The obvious question here is: would you be willing to share this (GPL), so we can try integrating it? :)
