[libvirt] Libvirt CVS fails to build on PPC

Actually, the subject isn't strictly true.  Libvirt CVS currently fails to build
when using this configuration on any platform:

./configure --build=i686-redhat-linux-gnu --host=i686-redhat-linux-gnu
--target=i386-redhat-linux-gnu --program-prefix= --prefix=/usr
--exec-prefix=/usr --bindir=/usr/bin --sbindir=/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/etc
--datadir=/usr/share --includedir=/usr/include --libdir=/usr/lib
--libexecdir=/usr/libexec --localstatedir=/var --sharedstatedir=/usr/com
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --without-xen --without-qemu
--with-init-script=redhat --with-qemud-pid-file=/var/run/libvirt_qemud.pid
--with-remote-file=/var/run/libvirtd.pid

(the important part is the --without-xen --without-qemu in there).  This just
happens to be the configuration that koji uses when it is building the ppc
libvirt package.  There are a lot of build errors, but they start with:

network_driver.c:64: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before
'iptablesContext'
network_driver.c: In function 'networkStartup':
network_driver.c:124: error: 'struct network_driver' has no member named 'logDir'

This seems to stem from the new module refactoring.  I'm not entirely sure
what's the correct way to fix it, however; I *think* we always want to build the
network_driver at this point, but if that's the case, then we need to make sure
we have the header files for iptablesContext and friends included.  Dan, any ideas?
