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 999af9cfc3 build: drop hack for old mingw ssize_t
The old 32-bit-only mingw project had a mismatch in its <sys/types.h>
that omitted ssize_t, but where size_t was a different rank than
int as picked by gnulib.  But now that mingw64 (both 32- and 64-bit)
is the more popular platform (Fedora has dropped mingw in favor of
mingw64), we no longer need to carry a hack to gnulib to cater to
the old mingw.  This reverts part of commit 1012dc2933.

         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.
