Which version of virt-v2v?

The latest version can be found by reading the instructions here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2015-April/msg00038.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libguestfs/2015-April/msg00039.html

Please don't use the old (0.9) version.

The new version of virt-v2v does not use '.netrc' at all.  Instead
there is a '--password-file' option.  Best to read the manual page:
