Gnulib documents that mingw vsnprintf is broken (it returns -1 on out-of-space, instead of the count of what would have been printed); but while we were using the snprintf wrapper, we had not yet been using the vsnprintf wrapper. Meanwhile, mingw (but not mingw64) has a replacement snprintf that fixes return values, but still lacks %1$s support; so in that case, gnulib didn't replace snprintf, but libintl then went ahead and installed a version that supported %1$s but not return values. Gnulib has since been fixed to guarantee that the snprintf module will always guarantee the constraints needed by libintl. Also, we want to guarantee that strdup sets errno on failure. * .gnulib: Update to latest, for vsnprintf fix. * bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add vsnprintf, strdup-posix.

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.
