I just wanted to see what is the user experience of having glusterfs
runtime dependency not met, by starting QEMU after deleting
storage/client.so from the system. (equivalent of not having glusterfs
rpm)

[root at bharata qemu]# ./x86_64-softmmu/qemu-system-x86_64 --enable-kvm
-nographic -m 2048 -smp 4 -drive
file=gluster://bharata/test/F17,if=virtio
qemu-system-x86_64: -drive file=gluster://bharata/test/F17,if=virtio:
Gluster connection failed for server=bharata port=0 volume=test
image=F17 transport=tcp
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I know one shouldn't do this, but glusterfs-api not depending on
glusterfs could result in many such unintended uses and associated
issues.
