Libguestfs - Mar 2014 - [PATCH 0/2] launch: libvirt: Use libvirt to set up the user network.

Use libvirt to set up the user network instead of a custom qemu
argument.

Note this requires a non-upstream patch being discussed on the libvirt
mailing list at the moment.

Rich.

This lets us generate XML conditionally based on libvirt version.

This only works in libvirt >= 1.3.0.  See:

The release we're about todo is 1.2.3, and it isn't clear if
we'll go to 1.2.4 or 1.3.0 yet - probably the former at this
point.
