please have a look at unification and the devel CoW
Link Breaking which should allow you to do what you
want with no overhead and/or larger resource consumption

the best way to 'build' such guests (for now) is to use
the 'skeleton' build method to do the configuration and
copy/link/unify the template into the empty guest dir
