  This allows you to override the global per user quota for the specific user 

  ids::

	# limit all users to 2 vms per user

  	MAX_VMS_PER_USER = 2

	# but let `user1@grnet.gr` and `user2@grnet.gr` to be able to create up to

	# 10 vms each.

	VMS_USER_QUOTA = {

		'user1@grnet.gr': 10, 

		'user2@grnet.gr': 10

	}

* Fix error message when no available network links can be created.

* Added setting for public network in Ganeti (``GANETI_PUBLIC_NETWORK``)
