ovf HostResource formatting compatibility issue

Description
file: /trunk/src/VBox/Main/ApplianceImpl.cpp
in Appliance::HandleVirtualSystemContent() on line 1098 (revision 21404)
The assumption is made that a HostResource is formatted like "ovf://disk/" or "/disk/" The ovf specification 1.0.0 however suggests "ovf:/disk/" (a single slash)
I discovered this while trying to import a ovf created by VMware OVF Tool v1.0.0 I got the error "Hard disk item with instance ID 7 specifies invalid host resource"
After changing the ovf xml to include an extra slash the import succeeded.
