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 676fdf8cb5 build: allow for local gnulib diffs
Commit f7bd00c12 pulled in a gnulib module that fails to compile
on mingw.  While it would be nice to pull in a newer version of
.gnulib that fixes this, it is difficult to backport any .gnulib
update to older releases.  So, it makes sense to take advantage
of gnulib-tool's ability to support local diffs, where we can
apply specific diffs in our use of gnulib without waiting for
upstream gnulib to pick up those changes, as well as avoiding
a wholesale .gnulib update.  The existence of local diffs will
also make it easier to backport fixes against a tarball (as long
as a tarball and libvirt.git share the same .gnulib commit, then
the tarball can be patched by applying the same local diffs as
a post-release libvirt.git commit, without having to rerun an
entire gnulib-tool bootstrap).

This patch introduces the framework for supporting local diffs,
without actually introducing any.

* bootstrap.conf (local_gl_dir): New variable.
* autogen.sh (bootstrap_hash): Hash any local diffs, to force a
re-bootstrap if just diffs change.
* cfg.mk (_update_required): Likewise.

         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.
