Hi Sean,
For virt-v2v compilation issue you can ask at libguestfs at redhat.com mailing
list.

Upstream ovirt git://gerrit.ovirt.org/ovirt-engine have support for importing
OVA files that was exported from vShpere 5.5 and 6.0 as well as connecting to
a running esxi listing and importing the VMs that are in down state.

The OVA file must be accessed by the importing host with permissions 36:36(NFS
mount will work as well).

To access the import VMs feature simply go to the VMs tab and click on the
import button there you will be able to select the import source (VMware/OVA
etc).

More information about virt-v2v integration with oVirt can be found in its
feature page: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/virt-v2v_Integration
