ACK and pushed with the above tweak, and with adding you to AUTHORS (let
us know if you prefer any other spelling or email address; the file is
in UTF-8).
Oh, and now that I've already pushed, I have a high-level question: what
is the minimum version of 'dnsmasq' that supports the command-line
syntax that this patch introduces?

+--local=// --domain-needed --filterwin2k \

If older dnsmasq doesn't recognize --local=// or the new --domain-needed
or --filterwin2k options, then we either need to make this code
conditional based on probing 'dnsmasq --help' at startup, or else change
the spec file to require a larger minimum version of dnsmasq (we already
require 2.41 for other reasons).
Just as I feared, we introduced a regression:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=854137

Apparently, --filterwin2k disables features needed by Windows guests.
Gene, what is the benefit vs. cost of adding this flag?  I'm trying to
figure out whether we need to expose it as something user-configurable,
or whether we should just revert back to the pre-patch version that did
not supply that option.

I already had some second thoughts about --filterwin2k but you had pushed it. "--filterwin2k" should be removed.

Unfortunately, as I said in another message, this "--local=" and "--domain-needed" are required but are not complete. dnsmasq will forward PTR queries which fall in the dnsmasq domain. I need to figure out how to create something of the form "--local=/xxx.yyy.zzz.in-addr.arpa/". I have tested what the effect of this is and it works.
