===================

Launcher for using VirtualBox VMs

This is a little launcher I developed for using VirtualBox VMs with various flavors of Internet Explorer to test using Karma.

For now, there is a hard dependency on my fork of ``node-virtualbox`
`
npm install karma-virtualbox-launcher --save-dev
`

* For now, only works with NAT networking on guest OSes.
* Need to test in non-Windows host environments.
* Only supports IE at the moment.
* No killing of guest browsers (yet).
* One karma.conf.js per VM.
