I take it there is additional meta-data in there generated by Windows
Server itself? Otherwise I would be tempted to write a tool to generate
the image on demand so it could be used to trigger other edge cases when
found.

Having said that 874 bytes certainly isn't to heavy a burden for the
repository ;-)

I'm currently pondering what the best way of supporting system images
(i.e. kernel+rootfs) would be to make system regression testing easier.
Unfortunately those images would be far too large to carry in the repo
although there may be some sub-module annex type thing I could try.
