vagrant (veewee) + virtualbox versions test matrix

Overview page to have a table of the virualbox (+gem) versions the boxes were developed against to inspect the root cause of SSH connection issue with vagrant boxes created by veewee. Veewee commit reference allows you to retrieve the exact VM definition files that worked, or failed, as the case maybe. Open a new issue if you feel justified, or point to an existing issue. Pass/fail refers to whether the final ssh succeeds in the following (conservative/paranoid) workflow (bash script):

vagrant_ver=0.7.5
veewee_ver=0.1.27
template=ubuntu-10.04.2-server-amd64
rubie=ruby-1.9.2-p180

pushd /usr/src/veewee
git fetch upstream
git checkout v${veewee_ver}
hash=`git rev-parse --short --verify HEAD`
popd

vm=vw-${hash}-${vagrant_ver}-${template}
