It's pretty easy; the only thing you really have to do is make sure your custom
libvirt rpm has a number greater than the one in the ovirt repo, and then add
your repo to common/repos.ks.in before you run build-all.  Then the automatic
yum dependency stuff will pick it up.

Be aware; we are carrying some custom patches in the ovirt.org libvirt, so if
you use your own, certain things won't work (migration, in particular).
