For compat w/ kvm-qemu 1.0.1, libvirt needs to be built w/ yajl support making this a new dependency

If compiled w/o yajl support, virt-manager will report 'No hypervisor options were found for this connection' when attempting to add a new vm, and any
attempt to load xml domain files through virsh will result in 'unknown os type: hvm'

Slackbuild patch below after yajl is installed
