(If you're compiling it yourself, why restrict it to an older version. I
would recommend instead grabbing 1.0.1, or just grabbing the head of
master from the git repo if you're adventurous).

To answer the question about compiling - the Open vSwitch support in
libvirt is completely based on calling ovs commandline utilities, so
there was no reason to supply an option to compile it out (so we didn't
:-). As long as libvirt is compiled with networking support (which is
what happens by default on any linux), you will be able to use
openvswitch functionality in libvirt.
