Bugs have been found in the VirtualBox API C bindings. These bugs have been fixed in versions 4.2.20 and 4.3.4. However, the changes in the C bindings are incompatible with the vbox_CAPI_v4_2.h and vbox_CAPI_v4_3.h files which are bundled in libvirt source code. This is why the following patch adds vbox_CAPI_v4_2_20.h and vbox_CAPI_v4_3_4.h. The actual underlying problem here is that until now, libvirt assumed that VirtualBox API can only change between minor versions (4.2 -> 4.3), but we have a case here where it changed (or got fixed) between patch versions (4.2.18 -> 4.2.20). This patch makes the VBOX_API_VERSION represent the full API version number (i.e 4002 => 4002000) so there are specific version numbers for Vbox 4.2.20 (4002020) and 4.3.4 (4003004)
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.
