Hi Jim -
  Thanks for your comments.  I really appreciate the detailed look.
I'll implement your suggestions (including the refactoring of the code
to turn a virStringList into a single XML string), though I have a
question about one of them:

I was a little worried about this too.  It's probably better to handle
this more like "iscsiadmin"/--with-storage-iscsi: defaults to enabling
iscsi backend if and only if iscsiadmin is present.  Fails with
--with-storage-iscsi=yes explicitly specified and iscsiadmin not found.

But I'm not sure we want to disable the storage_fs backend just because
we can't find showmount.  So maybe there should be another config option
--with-storage-netfs-discovery to cover the only code that actually uses
showmount?  Either of these sounds reasonable to me.  Do you have a
preference?
