OK, that should work. I will test it out later.
One issue we'll probably have is how to package this up for Fedora or
RHEL as those require that the RPMs are available at build time (which
is not possible as they are not open source).
It may be that you will need to build a "libguestfs-vxfs" package
yourself, built against your RPMs. It's fairly simple to do this but
let's cross that bridge later.

during libguestfs initial configure stage to eliminate our package
dependencies. But as you suggested added to packagelist.in.
e.g:
./configure --with-extra-packages="VRTSperl VRTSpython VRTSveki VRTSvlic
VRTSvxfs VRTSvxvm"
I see. That would work, but including the package names in
appliance/packagelist.in makes everything easier.

Good.

Alright, I'll try this out soon.
