Should we be checking at configure and/or runtime whether we are talking
to a fixed collie?

I've gone ahead and added you to AUTHORS in order to get 'make
syntax-check' to pass; let me know if you prefer an alternate alias.

/note to self - I really ought to finish the work I started on scrubbing
copyright notices for consistency, but that doesn't affect the
applicability of this patch

Long line; I would have formatted it:
void
virStorageBackendSheepdogAddHostArg(virCommandPtr cmd,
virStoragePoolObjPtr pool)

Minor optimization - you could do this in one step:
cmd = virCommandNewArgList(COLLIE, "node", "info", "-r", NULL);

And unfortunately this is as far as I got today; I'll have to resume my
review later.
