Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER Hypervisor.

Eric Blake 55d76a7270 build: fix 'make dist' without dtrace
probes.h can only be generated on Linux, and then only with dtrace
installed.  If it is part of the tarball, then either 'make dist'
will fail if you don't have that setup, or we would have to start
keeping probes.h in libvirt.git.  Since we only need it to be
generated when dtrace is in use, it's better to avoid shipping
it in the first place, and avoid tracking it in git.

Meanwhile, there is a build dependency - since the RPC code is
generated, it can be built early; but when dtrace is enabled, we
must ensure probes.h is built even earlier.  Commit 1afcfbdd tried
to fix this, but did so in a way that added probes.h into the
tarball, and broke VPATH as well.  Commit ecbca767 fixed VPATH,
but didn't fix the more fundamental problem.  This patch solves
the issue by adding a dependency instead.

Tested with 'make dist' in a clean VPATH builds, for both
'./configure --without-dtrace' and './configure --with-dtrace';
all configurations were able to correctly build a tarball, and
the dtrace configuration no longer sticks probes.h in the tarball.

* src/Makefile.am (REMOTE_DRIVER_GENERATED): Don't ship probes.h;
rather, make it a dependency.

         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.
