looks good - how about making an rpm out of it and the spice deps so it
can be part of the ovirt release instead of a manual process?
(and for the activex as well)?
That sounds terrific! Too bad I don´t know squat about making rpm´s:( But if any one would like a collaboration, I´d be happy to help out in any way I can!
