The first missing DLL was libvirt-lxc-0.dll. After I put it on the 
virt-viewer install dir, I got the error:

C:\Program Files\VirtViewer\bin>virsh -c qemu+tcp://kvmhost/system
error: failed to connect to the hypervisor
error: authentication failed: unsupported authentication type 1

Nice, there wan't other missing DLLs. :-)

It looks like the windows port can't do SASL auth over TCP. So I changed 
libvirtd.conf to allow unauthenticated connections over TCP.

It worked!!!!!

Quickly changed libvirtd.conf to allow only TLS connections, not to let 
my host insecure. Then tried again:

C:\Program Files\VirtViewer\bin>virsh -c qemu+tls://kvmhost/system

It worked!!!

Thanks a lot for your help, and I'm eager to try the next release you 
are about to build.


PS: Would it be hard to add SASL support to the windows port? It's much 
easier to setup than TLS.
