The hvsupport.html.in file is constantly out of date, because when

to update the hvsupport.html.in file.
To solve this we can instead store version number annotations in
the drivers themselves, so it is not easily missed. Then the
hvsupport.html.in file can be auto-generated
In libguestfs we generate the equivalent information entirely
automatically. See:
http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=tree;f=src/api-support;hb=HEAD
http://git.annexia.org/?p=libguestfs.git;a=blob;f=src/api-support/update-...
It requires access to a directory containing all the
{libguestfs|libvirt} tarballs from every released version.
