Several people have reported that if the .gnulib submodule is dirty, then 'make' will go into an infinite loop attempting to rerun bootstrap, because that never cleans up the dirty submodule. By default, we should halt and make the user investigate, but if the user doesn't know why or care that the submodule is dirty, I also added the ability to 'make CLEAN_SUBMODULE=1' to get things going again. Also, while testing this, I noticed that when a submodule update was needed, 'make' would first run autoreconf, then bootstrap (which reruns autoreconf); adding a strategic dependency allows for less work. * .gnulib: Update to latest, for maint.mk improvements. * cfg.mk (_autogen): Also hook maint.mk, to run before autoreconf. * autogen.sh (bootstrap): Refuse to run if gnulib is dirty, unless user requests discarding gnulib changes.

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.
