I _think_ I figured out the problem; gnulib's bootstrap wasn't honoring
--no-git.  Proposed patch here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2013-July/msg00232.html

But again, I'm biased by the fact that I normally have network access,
and didn't want to cripple that to test, so I didn't _actually_
reproduce the issue, and any testing you can do of the proposed patch
would be appreciated.
