I just installed DVM, and it seems like a very useful tool.  It works 
pretty well, but I ran into an issue for which I created a bug report:

https://bitbucket.org/doob/dvm/issue/5/invalid-character-in-dvm-env-files

Also, I have some suggestions for features you may want to add in the 
future.  I'll add enhancement requests for these.

Thanks for making a nice tool!
