I don't mind publishing it, but...

- it's very tied to my environment and the way I do this kind of things
  (interactive, requiring confirmations with a possibility to manually
  change things before continuing with the next step)

- it's in bash

- it does both libvirt and libvirt-python at once

- when I need to change something I usually need to do it immediately to
  be able to make the release, i.e., with no review

- I don't fancy random people messing with the script without my control
  :-)

That said, libvirt.git is definitely not the right repo for it. But I
guess my personal repo could work.
