Multiple VMs for some sandboxing #79

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'd like to be able to have certain windows programs run in different VMs. Maybe there's some programs I don't want to trust as much as others, or maybe there's some I want to run through a VPN and otherwise I don't.

Describe the solution you'd like A way to support multiple VMs. The simplest way might be to give cassowary a --base-dir / --profile / --data-dir type argument, and the user could maintain ~/.cassowary/[Profile Name] directories for parallel running of cassowary. Otherwise, with a bit more work, certainly multiple VM support could be built right into Cassowary.

Thank you for suggestion, i will try adding support for multiple VM soom, the config file seperation by profile would be very easy to implement, i will work in background service to support automatic resume and pause for multiple VM(s) configurations through a single instance of it otherwise we would need multiple instance of background service for each VM!
