On mingw, libvirt is typically configured --without-libvirtd, because
the mingw build is designed to target other hosts, but cannot natively
run as a hypervisor. Additionally, mingw doesn't really have a notion
of /etc/sysconf, so installing /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-guests doesn't
work too well.
Should tools/Makefile.am make the build and installation of
libvirt-guests dependent on the already-existing WITH_LIBVIRTD Makefile
conditional, or would it ever make sense to build libvirt-guests but not
libvirtd? I guess the answer to that boils down to whether it ever
makes sense to use libvirt-guests on a system that is not running
libvirtd, in which case it would only be able to control remote URIs.
But the whole point of the script is to cleanly save state for local
VMs, so I don't see using libvirt-guests as a management tool for remote
URIs.
Unless anyone speaks up with another opinion, I'll prepare a patch that
makes libvirt-guests depend on WITH_LIBVIRTD.
