You can disable building the daemon with -Ddriver_libvirtd=disabled (if I am
reading the code correctly).  I do not think there is something similar for the
clients, but I might be wrong.  Pavel (Cc'd) would definitely know or at least
be able to find it out more easily.  If it is not possible now then it should
not be that difficult to add such option, I think.
