[python-win32] Detect when application is running in a VM environment?

[python at bdurham.com]

Looking for ideas on how to detect when our Windows application
is running in one of the following VM environments. Some starter
ideas for detection are in parentheses. There may be (much)
better detection techniques - the starter ideas I've come up with
are based on my Google research.

- VMWare (looking for the presence of optional VMware Tools is
one way)
- Microsoft Virtual PC (have a device named "Virtual HD" for
their IDE disks, "MS Virtual SCSI Disk Device" for their SCSI
disks)
- Citrix Xen
- Sun Virtual Box

Any suggestions?
