script the import of VMs in the Baremetal edition

I was wondering if anyone knew a way to script the importing of VMs into the baremetal edition.

I am constantly switching out VMs and I'd like to just be able to plug in my USB hard drive, mount it, and run a shell script that does all the imports for me.

The graphical interface is kind of a pain when I want to import 4 different VMs, all with real long names.

I'm picturing someting like this:

vm1import.sh
import /mnt/machine.co.com/redhat linux enterprise edition 4.vmx

vm2import.sh
import /mnt/machine2.co.com/redhat linux enterprise edition 4.vmx

and so forth and so on.

thanks for any help or ideas.
