Void Linux's busybox-static package, for example, installs it as 'busybox.static'. Signed-off-by: Zev Weiss <zev@bewilderbeest.net>

This is on a somewhat related note to #13 in aiming to broaden the range of busybox packaging styles virtme can support.
Void Linux offers both statically and dynamically linked versions of busybox in its package repos. Without #13, virtme requires a static build, but unfortunately for virtme Void's busybox-static package installs a binary called
busybox.static(as opposed to thebusybox-staticvirtme currently searches for).So either #13 or this would address the immediate "virtme doesn't work on my distro" problem, though I think there could still potentially be value in both (would support either version of the package instead of requiring the static one).
