Hi,

I've noticed libvirt is persisting to have dnsmasq present and use it.
Version of libvirt in question is 0.9.4.

There is no dnsmasq present on the Host during libvirt compilation, yet
it seems to me ./configure wrongfully finds one:

~~~ SNIP ~~~
configure:46087: checking for dnsmasq
configure:46119: result: dnsmasq
~~~ SNIP ~~~

shouldn't there be "result: no"? As far as I remember - no dnsmasq
present during compilation, no usage of it later. However I might have
missed something - change in behavior, requirements etc. This is
possible. Still, if required "component" is missing, I say compilation
resp. configure should fail.

And this of course breaks things later on:

~~~ SNIP ~~~
virsh # net-start virtnet01
error: Failed to start network virtnet01
error: Cannot find 'dnsmasq' in path: No such file or directory
~~~ SNIP ~~~

and there is no DHCP defined for 'virtnet01' thus there is no reason to
bring dnsmasq in. Neither can be new network created and started via
virt-manager.

Thanks,
Zdenek
