On systems where git cannot access the outside world, a developer
can instead arrange to get a copy of gnulib at the right commit
via side channels (such as NFS share drives), set GNULIB_SRCDIR,
then use ./autogen.sh --no-git. In this setup, we will now
avoid direct use of git. Of course, this means no automatic
gnulib updates when libvirt.git updates its submodule, but it
is expected that any developer in such a situation is already
prepared to deal with the fallout.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap.
* bootstrap: Synchronize from gnulib.
* autogen.sh (no_git): Avoid git when requested.
* cfg.mk (_update_required): Skip automatic rerun of bootstrap if
we can't use git.
* docs/compiling.html.in: Document this setup.
* docs/hacking.html.in: Mention this.
* HACKING: Regenerate.

The rule generating the HTML docs passing the --html flag
to xsltproc. This makes it use the legacy HTML parser, which
either ignores or tries to fix all sorts of broken XML tags.
There's no reason why we should be writing broken XML in
the first place, so removing --html and adding the XHTML
doctype to all files forces us to create good XML.
This adds the XHTML doc type and fixes many, many XML tag
problems it exposes.

With this script you can run libvirt programs without needing to
install them first. You just have to do for example:
./run ./tools/virsh [args ...]
If you are already in the tools/ subdirectory, then the following
command will also work:
../run ./virsh [...]
You can also run the C programs under valgrind like this:
./run valgrind [valgrind opts...] ./program
or under gdb:
./run gdb --args ./program
This also works with sudo (eg. if you need root access for libvirt):
sudo ./run ./tools/virsh list --all
Derived from libguestfs and simplified. The ./run script in
libguestfs is much more sophisticated:
