Makes sense: switching to 4.03 solves enough of the "desiderata" for
us, however nothing ships that as also you correctly point out.

Before bumping the version (and using the newer features), the
branching/tracking scheme for libguestfs-common ought to be sorted out,
otherwise the stituation starts to be messy.
