That won't fly with Fedora packaging rules which have a strict policy on
not allowing use of any bundled 3rd party source. Even if upstream 
project ships it, Fedora will require that it is packaged & maintained
as a separate package.

It is not hard to build & package YAJL, since it is a tiny library with
no tricky dependancies to satisfy, so I'm going to package it for Fedora.
Other distros can have the choice of packaging it separately too, or just
including it directly in their libvirt packages as per their own policies.

Regards,
Daniel
