Meanwhile, I'm not opposed to these patches.  It may be a trivial fix
for distro packagers, but not so obvious for people building qemu from
scratch.

However, I have to wonder if src/util/util.c:virParseVersionString needs
to be taught to handle comma, and also whether qemuCapsParseHelpStr
should reuse virParseVersionString rather than open-coding its own parser.
