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 6e2847b277 build: fix bootstrap on RHEL
Commit 8fe455fd36 tried to work around
a regression introduced in upstream gnulib that requires gettext 0.18
or newer on all projects using bootstrap, by making libvirt require
gettext 0.18.  But this fails on RHEL 6.2, which still ships gettext
0.17.  Revert that change, and instead, import the latest round of
gnulib updates that fix that problem properly.

If you have already built in the window where libvirt required 0.18,
be aware that incremental updates may run into problems: this is
because 'autopoint --force' will not downgrade m4/po.m4 back to an
older version, but it must be downgraded back to 0.17 levels to work
with this patch.  You may either manually remove that file then rerun
bootstrap, or it may prove easier to just clean up all non-git files
to start from a clean slate.

* bootstrap.conf: Revert minimum gettext back to 0.17.
* configure.ac: Likewise.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap fixes.
* bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.

         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.
