Very good question! Both old and current virt-v2v use a binary (added to the RHEL build) which Matt extracted from rhev-apt, probably an old version. I have no idea where it comes from, and I doubt it is up to date. $ grep RHEV-App libguestfs.spec Source7: RHEV-Application_Provisioning_Tool_46267.exe > (not sure the newly introduced ovirt windows guest driver iso has > installers yet). Something we can build from source using the mingw-* chain would be useful, otherwise we can never add this to Fedora.
