[plug] Auto setting time in a qemu windows vm

[Bill Kenworthy]

I'll try ntp on it and see if it can resync reliably within a reasonable
time (I use cron'd sntp on linux as straight ntp wasn't reliable -
silent fail even when using "tinker panic 0") - I run the ntp server on
a Cisco 1841 router with uwa and iinet as upstreams.

I was hoping someone new of a way to get time to sync from the
hypervisor when the vm was resumed.
