This was requested by Richard in <20150211220126.GV11603(a)redhat.com>;
the hack^Wsolution is his, I am merely providing the patch.
(Would not send it myself because a) I believe libguestfs's
executables should properly define the variable, rather than trying to
circumvent the requirement, b) I don't have the knowledge to verify
the solution past "it compiles and runs".)
In any case, we cannot accept this patch, since it patches a file
coming from an external repository. We just integrate gnulib in our
workflow, using the modules of it which are needed for us (either
to support quirks on different OSes, or to get some extra features).
