Thanks for taking the time to investigate this (and the other problems
you've found) and interface with the dnsmasq maintainer!

Before we push this, we need to ascertain how this will change behavior
for older versions of dnsmasq on still-in-support older versions of
various distros. In particular, Fedora 16 is using dnsmasq 2.59,
RHEL6/CentOS6 are using dnsmasq 2.48, and RHEL5/CentOS5 are using
dnsmasq 2.45. (I don't have information about the dnsmasq versions on
other distros)

If it turns out that having the two options together is harmless on
those older versions, we can push it as is; otherwise we need to at
least seriously consider doing a check of dnsmasq version and setup the
args appropriately according to version (or alternately start thinking
about requiring people building upstream libvirt on the oldest platforms
to also build their own upstream dnsmasq).

I just happen to have Fedora 16 and RHEL6 running on real hardware, but
RHEL5 only in a guest. I'm not exactly sure what is an adequate test,
though. Do you know enough about the alleged "problems with older
versions" to provide a cookbook?
