Right now, 'man libvirtd' includes information that depends on configure results, so it must be generated on the fly and live in $(builddir); however, requiring pod2man on all end user machines is overkill. Meanwhile, 'man virsh' doesn't mention any configure results, so it can be built at 'make dist' time. If that situation changes in the future, we can generate virsh.1 in the same way that we generate libvirtd.8. * daemon/Makefile.am (libvirtd.8.in): New rule, to run pod2man in advance of distribution. (libvirtd.8): Use only sed from tarball. (EXTRA_DIST): Ship new file. (libvirtd.pod): Delete unused rule. (man8_MANS): Let automake know which section to use. (CLEANFILES, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Adjust to new files. * tools/Makefile.am (dist_man1_MANS): Distribute pre-built man pages, fine since they don't require any substitution. (virt-xml-validate.1, virt-pki-validate.1): Change input source. (virsh.1): Build into srcdir. (CLEANFILES, MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Adjust to new build style. * daemon/.gitignore: Update.

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.
