Code Issues Proposed changes

Sync /vagrant folder using virtualbox shared folder 

When doing vagrant halt then vagrant up we want the system to keep
working. The easiest way to do this is to use a virtual box plugin to
install the tools, then use the tools to sync the /vagrant directory,
rather than falling back to rsync on every boot of the VM. The rsync
looses all the writes since the last boot, forcing a full reprovision.

First, ensure that Vagrant is installed and correctly configured to use
virtual box. Also install the following vagrant plugins:
vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest
