Great! Let us know if you run into any problems (either with the image,
or of course with Evergreen).

I guess we should add some simple upgrade instructions for developers
who want to stay absolutely up to date without blowing away their
existing sample data. I know some devs use the update scripts in
Evergreen's build/tools/ directory to automatically update the code and
database schema. I haven't used those, which is why the VM image isn't
set up to support them, but I'll make a note to self to try doing that
in the future.
