Basically I've been seeing postings to libvirt-users and virt-tools where people are on distros that don't support netcf and are noticing that virt-manager uses HAL or they use libvir APIs and can configure everything for the virtual machine respecting the host except for the network.

Thanks for picking up work on my old attempt.

This sounds backwards. If I recall the discussion back on my old
attempt, the consensus moved towards wanting all library checks first,
and all driver checks last. But I'll have to look at the actual
configure changes to see if they make sense.

...here, after the '---' marker. Then 'git am' will automatically
discard them, while they will still be available as a review hint to the
reader.

'git config diff.renames true', then this will output a MUCH more
compact patch.

...that doesn't occur until here. So this logic needs to be rewritten.
I think the correct order is to check netcf first, (add in your new
backend check at this point), and _finally_ check with_interface, using:
if test $with_interface = yes; then
require at least one backend (for now, netcf) is also yes, or fail
else if test $with_interface = check; then
if at least one backend is yes, then set yes

I think there's still more data we should be outputting in this section,
as well as some re-ordering. with_netcf should be output in the
libraries section, not the drivers section.
