Hi Matthias,

Just came across an interesting (non fatal) bug with the new VirtualBox code on
windows.

When starting virsh on a windows system that *doesn't* have VirtualBox installed,
virsh prints an error to the users terminal about missing VirtualBox registry keys,
then continues on with it's intended operation.  (screenshot attached)

It's not a killer, but the error makes no sense in context when I'm (for example)
trying to connect to a remote qemu box. Heh.

Feel inclined to write a patch for it?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
