-- | Start a VirtualBox instance with a sentinel wrapper process.
--
-- The only reason why this is needed is because I want to manage virtualboxes
-- in their own dynamic workspaces, which are currently set up to correspond to
-- one process. The problem with Virtualbox is that the VBoxManage command
-- spawns a new VM and then exits, which means the process that was originally
-- attached to the dynamic workspace only exists for a few seconds when the VM
-- is starting.
--
-- Solution: Run VBoxManage in a wrapper binary that launches the VM and sleeps
-- until its PID exits. By monitoring this wrapper, the dynamic workspace only
-- has one process to track and will maintain the workspace throughout the
-- lifetime of the VM.
