Douglas still owes me a time estimate on when this be done.

At the moment supervdsmFuncTests do test that supervdsm is reponsive and
that supervdsm.getProxy() works. It's not like testing libvirt api calls
since supervdsm is inside our tree. So it's like testing libvirt api
calls - within the libvirt project.

I would embrace more smarter logic into the test - but I'm not sure what
you have in mind.
