Should we do this yet? It would of course only be for upstream.
It also requires an associated patch to common which I will post
separately.

Not sure why it should be "upstream only".
In any case, the big issue in this case is that you cannot build
virt-v2v with libguestfs from git. So until that is done, bumping
the version requirements means that almost noone (unless they install
libguestfs) can work on virt-v2v...

I meant only that we would just put it in git, and not try to backport
it (so it wouldn't affect people using current tarballs).

I guess because virt-v2v and libguestfs are more intimately connected
than other dependencies, it's worth trying to make this work. I
thought we could do it already using ‘../libguestfs/run’, so I
uninstalled libguestfs from my laptop and tried it, but:
$ ../libguestfs/run ./autogen.sh [other stuff] && make
checking for LIBGUESTFS... no
configure: error: Package requirements (libguestfs >= 1.40) were not met:
Well how hard can it be ... I'll see if I can fix this.
