[QtonPi] Bakeqtpi.bash script

[Harri Pasanen]

This sounds like a VMWare Fusion issue to me.

I'm only familiar with VirtualBox, but it is free and I'm quite happy 
with it.   But my host is Kubuntu 12.04 amd64 and my guests are Windows 
XP, so not directly comparable.

In another mail I see Mark is trying VirtualBox on Mac for this. Perhaps 
that will work.
