Actually, I possess such a thing. ;-)

Obviously, it's a single-purpose tool though. It's never going to 
replace a normal Linux distro.

I was just wondering if anybody has ever build a distro taylored to 
removing all the parts that aren't necessary for running in a virtual 
machine (e.g., support for various hardware that a VM won't have).

I guess the ultimate would probably be to design a special VM and a 
special OS to run inside it... but by that point you've probably lost 
the advantages of having a VM.
