I've attached a diff containing the framework for network-related drivers. I hope to have a working OpenNebula driver by the end of next week.

> A project I am currently working on involves the management of virtual networks using OpenNebula's OCCI API. These virtual networks are necessary to facilitate what Amazon calls "Virtual Private Clouds". Basically, I deploy a set of virtual machines, interconnected by a set of virtual networks, vnets, and using ebtables, isolate those virtual networks from one another. This effectively creates a virtual private cloud within my cloud infrastructure. 
> However, there is no support in libcloud to orchestrate virtual private networks. I know OpenNebula's OCCI supports virtual networks and there is documentation for Amazon's VPC (Docs: Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (API Version 2011-07-15))
> Would a new, fourth, component to libcloud be required? Say: "Virtual Networks - services such as Amazon VPC and OCCI
> (libcloud.network.*)"
> Therefore I wanted to propose the creation of a new networking library to unify the creation and management of virtual networks across cloud providers.
