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.

Jim Meyering 89bdf84bcd build: ensure that MKINSTALLDIRS is AC_SUBST-defined
since we're using gettext-0.14.1, which uses that now-obsolete
automake symbol.  Otherwise, make distcheck would fails like this:

    make[2]: Entering directory `/t/libvirt-0.7.6/_build/po'
    /bin/sh @MKINSTALLDIRS@ /t/libvirt-0.7.6/_inst/share
    /bin/sh: @MKINSTALLDIRS@: No such file or directory
    make[2]: *** [install-data-yes] Error 127

* configure.ac (MKINSTALLDIRS): Define.
For reference, we're currently hamstrung by our desire
to support RHEL5, which still uses gettext-0.14:

         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.
