Would prefer this get moved down, under "build guest agent"

Looks good otherwise.

Since this has the effect of changing both the default directory for
state and well as the pid file, maybe we should s@state@state/pidfile@
the human-readable descriptions?

Please add instead --localstatedir (defaulting to ${prefix}/var), and
make the guest agent's directory /run inside that one.  Packagers
already know to override --localstatedir=/var, in some cases macros even
do it automatically.

Well, that was my first version but I discarded it for two reasons.

First, --localstatedir is a host-side setting but qemu-ga is not supposed to
run in the host. What if I want a different setting for guests?

Second, having /run appended to --localstatedir (or whatever we choose) may
have a bad effect if qemu is built with --localstatedir=, where qemu-ga's
state will be "/run" (good for Fedora, but might not be good for other
distros or other unixes).

I'm not strong about this though, it just was my reasoning while doing this.

Then you should build twice, like you do when the guest is a completely
different OS.

I'm not sure I follow, it would be --localstatedir=/var usually.  Even
Fedora would not use --localstatedir=.

Fine with me if this is acceptable.

Which part you didn't follow, that no one would build with --localstatedir=
or what is the problem if this is done?

If it's the former, then I buy that argument and will change the series.
