Parsing help output for the version number is a really bad idea.  query-version 
in QMP does the right thing:

(QEMU) query-version
{u'return': {u'qemu': {u'micro': 0, u'major': 1, u'minor': 0}, u'package': ''}}

This is the supported way of figuring out the version number and it's what 
libvirt should be using.
