Re: RoboRIO QEMU VM available

They used to distribute the images with the C++ updates in a zipfile, but alas no more... but I haven't read the license agreement that carefully. I suspect the only one allowed to distribute the binaries are NI/FIRST.

I very briefly looked at writing a script that would extract the file from the NI update zipfile, but I believe it would require something to parse through the msi to find the right UUID in the cab file... probably not too hard, but I didn't feel like doing it. If you create a script to do that, I'll gladly host it in the repo.
