Citrix just release a minor update for its P2V/V2V migration utility XenConvert 2.0. (Current Release 2.0.1)
This version introduces the support for OVF contents created with VMware vSphere 4, plus it enhances support for OVF and VMDK files created with other VMware products, including VI 3.x, Workstation 6.5.2, Studio 1.0, OVF Tool 0.9, Converter 3.0.3 and 4.0.
Versions are available for both x86 and x64 and is available from here

Things to watch out for in this release (known problems)
1. Windows Boot and System drives must be on the save volume
2. Do not run from within a Terminal Services 2000 session (i'll try not to!!)
3. XenConvert has problems with mapped drives when the next available mapped drive is a network drive, quick workaround is to remap network drives to something other then the lowest lettered drive
4. Disable autorun and AV software during convert
