[virt-tools-list] [virt-viewer v2 0/6] Ovirt foreign menu support

[Jonathon Jongsma]

I haven't looked at the code closely yet, but I die try to apply and
test briefly on fedora 20. There were no configure issues, but it failed
to build due to the following missing functions:

        ovirt_resource_refresh_async
        ovirt_resource_refresh_finish

Perhaps the libgovirt version requirements need to be increased?
