I know it's not done for you right now.

But just since you brought up the subject of GUI tools and that sort of thing...

Rehdat is moving to KVM for the Redhat ES 5.4 release.

Redhat/Fedora vit-manager is working very very well with KVM on Fedora 11 beta.

http://libvirt.org/ is a library that is being developed that will provide a stable/unified API for people programming for Linux VM solutions. Not just KVM, but Xen, LXC (linux container system), OpenVZ, User mode linux, and Virtualbox.

Yes, we looked closely at libvirt. At the time it was in transition as Qumranet was about to be bought by RedHat. When we first looked there was no support for live migration and it was out of sync with recent qemu's (changing CD's). We will probably be looking at libvirt again at some point.
