That application would be qemu ...

It would be great, yes.  Weekly would be good enougth I think, there are 
not *that* much changes flowing in at the moment.

All you need is:
   (1) a recent pixman version (rebuilding the rawhide version for f12
       will do).
   (2) spice-protocol package
   (3) spice package.  You need the api.v3 branch from this repo:
       http://cgit.freedesktop.org/~kraxel/spice/log/?h=api.v3
   (4) qemu + patches.  spice.v3 branch from this repo:
       http://cgit.freedesktop.org/spice/qemu/log/?h=spice.v3

There are internal repos with rhel6 bits rebuilt for fedora.  I suspect 
for snapshots of latest bits the rhel6-beta spec files don't help that 
much ...

cheers,
