I've pushed a new tool called "virt-log" upstream, so you can now
just do:
virt-log -d Guest
or:
virt-log -a disk.img
It will automatically fetch the journal or traditional syslog file as
appropriate, and we can add Windows support in future.
Unfortunately the journal_* API calls are rather slow because they
have to fetch each single line from the journal. So there's some work
to be done to make that fast.
