interfaceschematest is meaningless for RHEL5, since actually using the
virInterface API requires netcf, and netcf was never an official part of
RHEL5 (although there was a package in EPEL, at some point fairly early
on support was discontinued because of some other dependent package
missing in RHEL5; a proper version of libnl maybe? I've forgotten...)
