The source code base needs to be adapted as well. Some files
include virutil.h just for the string related functions (here,
the include is substituted to match the new file), some include
virutil.h without any need (here, the include is removed), and
some require both.
QMP commands don't need to be escaped since converting them to json
also escapes special characters. When a QMP command fails, however,
libvirt falls back to HMP commands. These fallback functions
(qemuMonitorText*) do their own escaping, and pass the result directly
to qemuMonitorHMPCommandWithFd. If the monitor is in json mode, these
pre-escaped commands will be escaped again when converted to json,
which can result in the wrong arguments being sent.
For example, a filename test\file would be sent in json as
test\\file.
This prevented attaching an image file with a " or \ in its name in
qemu 1.0.50, and also broke rbd attachment (which uses backslashes to
escape some internal arguments.)
