[libvirt-users] Specifying the KVM binary to use with libvirt

Greetings everybody,

I am running stock ubuntu-natty with kernel 2.6.38-8, KVM 0.14.0 and
libvirt 0.8.8. I am spawning virtual machines with libvirt.
I would like to test a new KVM version built aside without installing
it over existing KVM. Is there a way to tell libvirt which KVM binary
to pick up?
I've been searching and saw that QEMU driver looks in /usr/bin for KVM
executable. Is there a way to adjust that?

Thanks,
  Alex.
