Is there any hope of a utility like mdconfig that would allow mounting a 
vdi file directly?

There's a tantalizingly-named ImageMounter/VBoxFUSE, which is probably 
not what that implies.

It would be great to be able to access vdi files without having to 
waste time and space converting them to raw image files.
