Sorry for the delay in responding (another 2 week business trip... sigh)
I agree. Seems like sblim-testsuite has some basic advantages, even in its current limited form.
And whatever dependence it has on a cli helper, ie wbemcli, should be minimally invasive and not
too bad to remove/replace with say a python/curl equivalent.
The nice thing about having a lower-level CIM client, at least right now, is that it'll allow us to
actually DO DefineVS(), since non of the existing tools support embedded instances (or even
references as arguments it seems....)
