Commit 8fe455fd364cd7462e02170084c45a58ee302cc3 tried to work around a regression introduced in upstream gnulib that requires gettext 0.18 or newer on all projects using bootstrap, by making libvirt require gettext 0.18. But this fails on RHEL 6.2, which still ships gettext 0.17. Revert that change, and instead, import the latest round of gnulib updates that fix that problem properly. If you have already built in the window where libvirt required 0.18, be aware that incremental updates may run into problems: this is because 'autopoint --force' will not downgrade m4/po.m4 back to an older version, but it must be downgraded back to 0.17 levels to work with this patch. You may either manually remove that file then rerun bootstrap, or it may prove easier to just clean up all non-git files to start from a clean slate. * bootstrap.conf: Revert minimum gettext back to 0.17. * configure.ac: Likewise. * .gnulib: Update to latest, for bootstrap fixes. * bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.
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.

Description
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
