In this case I disagree.  The URI parsing code here is complex enough that
I don't think any reviewer can credibly claim to spot flaws that might
have been introduced when combing the libvirt + libxml2 URI code parts.
A test suite is the only way to validate this kind of complex code IMHO
and so should be included in this patch.
