Libguestfs - Feb 2015 - [PATCH] v2v: allow configurable location for virtio drivers

Make the location of the Windows virtio drivers overridable with the
environment variable VIRTIO_WIN_DIR, in the same vein as is done for
virt-tools.

This slightly changes the semantics, especially for people who don't
use `./configure --prefix /usr'.  But I guess that's OK.

The main problem with the patch is that it doesn't update the
documentation (v2v/virt-v2v.pod).

Rich.

I guess so too.

Indeed.  I'll add a note to the docs and resubmit.
