Thanks; pushed.

As a wrap-up to my clang session yesterday, there were also some false
positives in gnulib's vasnprintf implementation; discussion on the
gnulib list is considering using the name assume() or invariant()
instead of sa_assert() - but I doubt that it will happen before
libvirt-0.8.8, so we can worry about adjusting to any gnulib changes at
a later date.
