The core definition of a box. All crucial properties are defined here.
The boot_cmd_sequence is probably the most interesting because it allows you to override the initial commands
(like keyboard layout) that are fired up in the first boot sequence.
All other settings are used internally by veewee, the virtualization tool or simply for choosing the right ISO:

IMPORTANT: If you need to change values in the templates, be sure to run veewee vbox undefine to remove the old definition and then veewee vbox define again to copy the updated template files into the definition.
PRO Tip: If you change template settings please let us know why. We are very interested in improving the templates.
