* It is mainly useful when cloning a chain of images and it is known that

* Example:
* Imagine the chain of images which consist of a base and one diff image.
* Copying the chain starts with the base image. When copying the first
* diff image VDCopy() will read the data from the diff of the source chain
* and probably from the base image again in case the diff doesn't has data
* for the block. However the block will be optimized away because VDCopy()
* reads data from the base image of the destination chain compares the to
* and suppresses the write because the data is unchanged.
* For a lot of diff images this will be a huge waste of I/O bandwidth if
* the diff images contain only few changes.
* Because it is known that the base image of the source and the destination chain
* have the same content it is enough to check the diff image for changed data
* and copy it to the destination diff image which is achieved with
* nImageSameFrom and nImageSameTo. Setting both to 0 can suppress a lot of I/O.
