Subject: Add commented-out support for alternate guestfwd syntax.
X-Git-Tag: 1.0.63~7
X-Git-Url: http://git.annexia.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=10258cadd0067cb49b89faf1ce424b1c01f5a7c3;p=libguestfs.git

Add commented-out support for alternate guestfwd syntax.

This commit just moves code around.  The new support is not enabled
because it doesn't work.  See qemu-devel, subject
"guestfwd option doesn't allow supplementary ,server,nowait"
