That would work when invoked by "make", but then that's the case in 
which the venv would be there anyway.

For the other case, it would have to parse config-host.mak and/or 
reintroduce something like tests/qemu-iotests/common.env.  All in all it 
seems like an unnecessary complication over just printing a clear and 
polite error message.
