My main use case is development and testing on MacOS.
I can do a lot of stuff by only recompiling and testing the hypervisor without
changing the rest of my test environment and being able to do it directly
on my mac is making things a lot faster and simpler.
I have been using this for a long time and someone asked me some weeks
ago if that was possible so i figured it would be a good idea to share.
Cheers
Bertrand
