Downloading & manually setting path to Guest Additions #254

Not all distros (Fedora, opensuse) provide a package containing the guest additions iso.

It would be great if ievms could detect whether the guest additions iso exists, and if it doesn't, download it and pass the --source param to vboxmanage.

Fetch the ISO from http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualbox, based on the VB version number.

Hmm, IIRC we used to do exactly this. I don't remember why that changed off hand. I'll look into it. Thanks!
