Seems like the key reason for the divergance is skipping syntax-check
and check jobs on *BSD. Sure would be nice to figure out how to get
these working one day.
That's one of the reasons, but I wouldn't say it's the key one:
libvirt-dbus, libvirt-sandbox, libvirt-tck and virt-manager also
need special casing for various reasons related to eg. some of
the libraries not being recent enough, or not shipped at all, in
some distributions.
