Hi Ben,

thanks for offering your help on this!

For now I would be happy if I had a minimal Vagrantfile example with
these guys working:

* `vagrant up` should not hang / timeout
* `vagrant ssh -c "echo foo"` should run the command
* `vagrant provision` working with an inline: or path: (.bat / .ps)
"shell" provisioner
* example of a synced_folder (via vboxfs ideally) working

So the plain vagrant basics basically ;-)

I have lost belief a bit since I thought it would be a bit more
straightforward with Vagrant / Windows guests.... :-/

Any help / pointers appreciated

Cheers,
Torben
