The libguestfs on CentOS 6 does define GUESTFS_HAVE_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS (and
the function family guestfs_add_drive_opts*), however, it only supports
up through option 5 GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_CACHEMODE.  The compile
failure was that GUESTFS_ADD_DRIVE_OPTS_PROTOCOL was undefined.  (The
documentation at http://libguestfs.org/guestfs.3.html#guestfs_add_drive
doesn't list which version various options were added in, only that the
function itself was added in 0.3, which predates 1.20.11).

Might be easier; I'll play with it, and post a v2 patch along those
lines (certainly a smaller patch, but it does mean that we won't even
attempt to build plugins/guestfs - I guess that's still okay for an
older release).
