I didn't do 'format-patch' and 'send-email' doesn't add notes.  So I'm
attaching them now:

I'm not pushing this as a build-breaker because I sense there might be
more to this.  The thing is that it doesn't fail for anyone else I
talked to, neither does it fail for out test suite.

I don't quite understand how it could worked (ever), since the only
definition of vbox22NetworkDriver (and others) was extern throughout
the whole git history.  I'm running autogen using --with-vbox even
though I don't have any virtualbox libraries/binaries installed, but
there is no such requirement for compiling the code.  And I don't
think the libraries would export a virNetworkDriver data struct
either.

Anyway, feel free to let me know where the real problem is and I'll be
glad to help with that either.
