Tried this again with clean checkout.

Complete instructions for building virt-v2v in the first time:

git clone https://github.com/libguestfs/virt-v2v.git
cd virt-v2v
git submodule init
git submodule update
./autogen.sh
make
rm po-docs/podfiles
make -C po-docs update-po

./run virt-v2v --version
virt-v2v 1.41.7

Looks like autogen.sh and bootstrap need update for common submodule, since
they check and handle only gnulib status.
