Nothing so far...

Same here, xen-libs 4.0.2 is installed, but no libblktapctl.so.* can be found 
anywhere.

A bit of googling suggests that the only way to get that library is through 
xen-libs packages versioned 4.1.0 or up.

Maybe libvirt's configure script dynamically detects the presence of that 
library and only links to it if it's there? That would explain why it's 
possible to build libvirt from source on Fedora 14, but not install 
corresponding RPMs, if those have been built with that library present on the 
build system for some reason.
