If this is intended to be rnu with proper release tarballs,
then you should change autogen.sh to ./configure, so you avoid
needing automake/autoconf/etc on OS-X.

Also, does libvirtd not actually work ? If QEMU itself builds on
OS-X, then in theory it ought to be possible to  build libvirtd
and manage it.

Do you need a depends_on for  libxml2 & portablexdr too ?

What's the situation with Python on OS-X ? Any liklihood of python
bindings working  ?

If you add curl + xmlrpc-c then the ESX driver ought to work. If
there's a virtualbox port to OS-X that driver should work too.
I'd be interest to see what configure prints as the summary for
features it enabled...

Regards,
Daniel
