vbox: Add glue layer for MSCOM on Windows
Don't require dlopen, but link to ole32 and oleaut32 on Windows. Don't expose g_pVBoxFuncs anymore. It was only used to get the version of the API. Make VBoxCGlueInit return the version instead. This simplifies the implementation of the MSCOM glue layer. Get the VirtualBox version from the registry. Add a dummy implementation of the nsIEventQueue to the MSCOM glue as there seems to be no direct equivalent with MSCOM. It might be implemented using the normal window message loop. This requires additional investigation.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed.
