It turned into six patches, but I can now run 'make check', with these
results:

TEST: viruritest
      ...........!....!.                       18  FAIL
FAIL: viruritest

TEST: virdrivermoduletest

      .                                        41  FAILED
FAIL: nwfilterschematest

=======================================
4 of 65 tests failed
(3 tests were not run)

I suspect 3 of those 4 are due to the bugs in the extremely old libxml2
in RHEL 5 failing to validate complex RNG; but the failures in
virdrivermoduletest may warrant investigation.  Running that one under
VIR_TEST_DEBUG doesn't give any hints.
