1/2 is just small code motion. 2/2 reworks the tmpdir and appliance cache directory code. See the commit comment for the full details.

It needs a lot more testing, which I'm (slowly) performing on my own machine. Note this also depends on the new guestfs_inspect_get_product_variant API that I posted earlier today.

In the current Perl library we have a function called resolve_windows_path which handles the useful [for Windows guests] case where we need to resolve the true, case-sensitive path behind a case-insensitive Windows path. For example, a Windows path like "C:\Windows\System32" can be presented to Linux by NTFS 3g in a variety of ways, eg: /WINDOWS/system32 /WINDOWS/SYSTEM32

Pino alerted me to this problem -- it's quite clear if you try to compile libguestfs from git on RHEL 7.
