Yes it does:

https://git.fedorahosted.org/cgit/virt-v2v.git/tree/lib/Sys/VirtConvert/Connection/LibVirt.pm#n101

That code seems to answer the original question, although it doesn't
seem to be documented.  It looks as if the username comes from the
libvirt URI (ie. -oc option, I'm not sure exactly how it's encoded)
and the password comes from ~/.netrc (must be mode 0600).

Probably best to ask Matt about this one.
