A few things have changed in the VirtualBox API - some small (capitalizations of things in function names like Ip to IP and Dhcp to DHCP) and some much larger (FindMedium is superceded by OpenMedium). The biggest change for the sake of this patch is the signature of CreateMachine is quite a bit different. Using the Oracle source as a guide, to spin up a VM with a given UUID, it looks like a text flag has to be passed in a new argument to CreateMachine. This flag is built in the VirtualBox 4.2 specific ifdefs and is kind of ugly but works. Additionally, there is now (unused) VM groups support in CreateMachine and the previous 'osTypeId' arg is currently set to nsnull as in the Oracle code. The FindMedium to OpenMedium changes were more straightforward and are pretty clear. The rest of the vbox template changes are basically spelling/capitalization changes from the looks of things.

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.

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.
