Install API XML desc to a standard location
Language bindings may well want to use the libvirt-api.xml and libvirt-qemu-api.xml files to either auto-generate themselves, or sanity check the manually written bindings for completeness. Currently these XML files are not installed as standard, merely ending up as a %doc file in the RPM. This changes them to be installed into $prefix/share/libvirt/apis/ The *-refs.xml files are not installed, since those are only useful during generation of the online API doc files. The pkg-config file is enhanced so that you can query the install location of the API files. eg # pkg-config --variable=libvirt_qemu_api libvirt /home/berrange/builder/i686-pc-mingw32/sys-root/mingw/share/libvirt/libvirt-qemu-api.xml * docs/Makefile.am: Install libvirt-api.xml & libvirt-qemu-api.xml * libvirt.pc.in: Add vars for querying API install location * libvirt.spec.in, mingw32-libvirt.spec.in: Include API XML files
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
Hypervisor.
