"qemu-img resize" issue on CentOS build

Hello,

     Those ones, who are using CentOS OpenStack build (
http://openstackgd.wordpress.com/2011/10/04/diablo-centos-build/), may have
faced with a problem related to 'qemu-img' utility. The problem is that
currenly available package qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.113 (CentOS-Base repo) is too
old to support 'resize' function. That may result in failure on attempt to
launch VM instances.

     However there is a solution. A newer version of qemu-img available in
CR CentOS repository (
http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/CR). This repository
contains package qemu-img-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6_1.8.x86_64.rpm which supports
resize function. So, it may be better to use Base+CR+EPEL repos for
depencendies for CentOS build.
