At least libguestfs code refers to it so I believe for rhsrvany de facto
it is.

I don't mind.  I just wanted to publish it somehow as I'm about to post
a patch to libguestfs which uses it.  Creating a dedicated public repo
for a trivial program like this looked like an overkill, so I posted it
as a patch against rhsrvany repo.  If anybody has a better idea I'm all
open.

Thanks,
Roman.
