git send-email --subject-prefix=PATCHv2 is a neat trick, as is
summarizing the difference from v1.  I don't have the gnulib version-etc
module licensing issue sorted yet, but now that your ./configure options
match those of gnulib, I'm happier with it; and I'd rather see this go
in sooner than later (we can tweak it later to take advantage of gnulib,
if gnulib improves).

Confirm that this matches coreutils' ./configure option.

That's US-centric.  Can't we instead go with ISO format of year first,
to avoid the ambiguities of US vs Europe on the first 12 days of a given
month?  And, since the .spec file runs on a system where we are
guaranteed that date is POSIX-compliant, we can use the shorter:

%(date +"%%F-%%T")

This says the version string is logged at the same priority as the first
call to virLogMessage; shouldn't it instead be a fixed priority?

And if you switch to a fixed priority, should setting
virLogOutputs[i].logVersion to false be dependent on whether the
callback function virLogOutputs[i].f() actually output the version string?

ACK with those nits addressed.
