-Subject: [PATCH] golang: Fix it so it builds if libguestfs is not installed.
-
-It was using the installed copy of libguestfs not the local copy.
-
-We can't encode the paths in guestfs.go, since this source file gets
-copied into the install directory where those paths would not make
-sense.  Instead we have to use CGO_CFLAGS and CGO_LDFLAGS to
-communicate the right flags to go when doing the local build and test.

-No single test should run longer than 1 hour even on the slowest of
-hardware.  We are having a problem in Koji where a test hangs and then
-we end up losing the output completely, so a timeout + print the log
