Add an access control driver that uses the pkcheck command to check authorization requests. This is fairly inefficient, particularly for cases where an API returns a list of objects and needs to check permission for each object. It would be desirable to use the polkit API but this links to glib with abort-on-OOM behaviour, so can't be used. The other alternative is to speak to dbus directly Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

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.
