Comment 27 for bug 517478

I posted a similar patch upstream last month:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2010-February/msg00444.html

Danpb wasn't a fan of it (understandably) and suggested a long term approach of making a custom helper to drop in /usr/libexec so that we don't need to rely on 'nc'.

However, until that work is done, it would be nice if one of these patches could be applied.
