I realised that I _can_ actually test this (since it relies on basic
Kubevirt, which is still working, not Konveyor, broken).  And I fixed
a few things and am adding support for some of the missing features.

So I'm going to let this one stew out of tree for a bit longer and
post a v2 later with more features.

Thanks,

Rich.
