You’re absolutely right. I’ll add some documentation about this. Would 
you prefer it as a separate commit or included with the code changes?

I agree that it's extra work. I was being careful and wanted to ensure 
that all of the existing error handling in virParseVersionString() 
still occurred. After looking it over again, I was being excessively 
cautious and will change it to just produce the unsigned long.
