Convert .vhd to VMWare image (.vmdk) on Mac OSX

In order to convert a Microsoft Virtual PC hard drive image (type .vhd) to a VMWare Fusion image (type .vmdk) on OSX you can use Qemu. While other articles mention using the Mac port of qemu called simply "Q", using Macports you can use Qemu directly.

Using Macports:

sudo ports install qemu

Then using the qemu-img command:

qemu-img convert -f vpc -O vmdk Win7_IE8.vhd win7-ie8.vmdk

...for example will output the desired image!
