Converter should call provider method for generating additional files

[sciurus]

Some providers require additional files that are specific to them, e.g. vagrant-kvm requires box.xml. I need to make it possible to implement this in a provider.

Does this means follows?

• Mutate don't have provider specific logics.
• Each provider keeps utility methods for mutate to call.

In vagarnt-kvm project, we discuss that we can move such methods to other plugin e.g. mutate and simplivy provider inside.

Mutate does have a place for provider-specific logic. When I said "provider" I meant a provider class that is a part of vagrant-mutate. Sorry for the confusion.

Basically, there

• is a Box class that represents generic aspects of a box
• are Provider classes that represent specific aspects of providers
• is a Converter class that includes generic conversion logic and calls provider classes for more specific logic

I'm glad you're interested in using vagrant-mutate to simplify vagrant-kvm. I'll try to spend some time this weekend figuring out and implementing the changes needed to make it easy for you.

This is done in the kvm branch.
