Thanks for all the debugging! I only started gnome-boxes. Should've
really done more and fixed all these packaging problems.

gnome-boxes-3.3.3-3.mga2 will require: qemu, qemu-img, libvirtsh

Another packaging problem. I need to rebuild qemu with --enable-spice.
Looking at http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=qemu.git;a=tree, it
seems *loads* of patches need to be applied to qemu. I need to
coordinate this with the maintainer. Bit too invasive to do on my own.

Seems you're the first one actually using this on Mageia :P
