Andrea Bolognani a415225605 syntax-check: Add versioning information
Our copy of syntax-check has diverged quite a bit from the
gnulib original, but a lot of the core logic has remained
identical and it would be nice if we could periodically pull
improvements.

To make this manageable, record the gnulib commit our copy is
derived from: this way, the person updating the file will know
the range of gnulib commits that they have to consider.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
