Hmm, just looking at this again, and the exception handling can throw
away some important info.

You'll want to throw away the libvirtError from the lookupByName call
only: if destroy or undefine fail, the install should fail, raising
the exception and giving a nicer message such as "Couldn't destroy/undefine
existing vm 'vmname': %s" str(e)"

Also, could you combine the two patches into one? It will just make reviewing
easier :)

Thanks,
Cole
