Do the instructions still apply? Is there somebody already building these on their own that I could piggy-back off of their efforts?

This is great work. I had no issues while getting through the readme.txt 
instructions. virt-manager opens and runs great... except I'm setup for 
all SSH authentication. Probably time to go through and get through the 
TLS certificate generation done.

Is there any plans to support the ssh transport soon?
