0.5.1 will be in F10 updates within days I expect

Even if you use the GIT mirror of libvirt, autopoint itself
still uses cvs for something it does (crazy yes). The fact
that you have autopoint installed without cvs, suggests
that the gettext RPM needs to have a 'Requires: cvs'
dependancy added to to - worth filing a bug against gettext
RPM for this.

This all stems from missing cvs program, causing autopoint
to fail, which causes configure to fail, etc, etc. Hopefully
just installing CVS would fix it for you.

Not fatal, but if you want to test the full build you should
install

 PolicyKit-devel avahi-devel libselinux-devel
 numactl-devel readline-devel

So that all those checks there pass.

Also install   parted-devel

And   hal-devel


Basically take a look at  libvirt.spec.in and make sure you
have all the 'BuildRequires" lines installed.
