I was thinking about that too. And danpb would like that as well, I
guess, since he came up with the fuzzing idea for GSoC.

But it's not like the whole libvirt has to be installed and running
there, right? It's unit-test fuzzing, it will just link against
libvirt.la and run random APIs (mostly public ones, I guess).
You have to write test harnesses for the fuzzer, so it'll fuzz whatever
APIs you call from your test harnesses.
