[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/3] hivex: Improve OS X support

This patch series improves, but does not complete, OS X support for
hivex.  There are several outstanding issues before hivexml and hivexsh
can run:

* hivexsh uses open_memstream, which doesn't exist in OS X as near as I
can see.  Unfortunately, I'm inexperienced with autoconf, so I'm not
sure how to employ AC_CHECK_FUNCS([open_memstream]) to conditionally add
'sh' to the Makefile.am's SUBDIRS.

* The check for libxml fails, because PKG_CHECK_CONFIG doesn't exist on
OS X.  I think it would be better to use AC_CHECK_FUNCS on some of the
libxml functions, but again, I'm not too hot with autoconf and automake.

* hivexml has the following run-time failure:
dyld: lazy symbol binding failed: Symbol not found: _iconv_open
Referenced from: /Users/alex/local/src/hivex/lib/.libs/libhivex.0.dylib
Expected in: flat namespace

dyld: Symbol not found: _iconv_open
Referenced from: /Users/alex/local/src/hivex/lib/.libs/libhivex.0.dylib
Expected in: flat namespace

Trace/BPT trap: 5

I have the vague idea of how to address the first two, but not the last.
I would appreciate any help on these.  Gillen, you said earlier this
weekend you had taken a stab at compiling things in OS X.  Did you have
to take these steps, too?
