The share/examples/bhyve/vmrun.sh is not really an example, but a good
standalone tool. I use it all the time without any modification, and I
guess many other people do, too.
Maybe time to move it to some path that is in the default $PATH?
I really think we should instead be building a tool like vm-bhyve from ports,
either by importing that directly, or perhaps rewriting it in lua and having
that eventually replace vmrun.sh.
