yuck - this was the cheaper/simpler approach. Not a fan of labels in the
macro... It would mean that virTestMain gets two labels (e.g. "error:"
and "va_error:") with a lot of code in between that returns EXIT_FAILURE
that could conceivably also "goto error;", but won't... I dunno, I just
find that worse.  Similar for main in qemucapsprobe.c which would get an
error: label to return EXIT_FAILURE even though there's 5 other such
returns prior to that which don't goto error;

I'll just drop this and keep my local copy as is. If someone wants to be
more elegant, then have at it ;-)

Thanks for the quick reviews on these.

John
