What I am going to do is take out the "requires: qemu-img" in the spec 
and add logic to appliance-cretor that checks for the qemu-img rpm when 
you used the --format option.  If its not installed it will exit with a 
error which also states that qemu is not available on ppc64.

I think in the long run we will move to virt-convert where we will not 
have this issue.

I will finish this up moday and should have a new build for F-9 and F-10.
