Andrea Bolognani e14c2d32d2 syntax-check: Sync with gnulib
The most notable change is the new 'sc_unportable_grep_q' rule.

While importing it from gnulib, the rule has been tweaked
slightly by adding superflous quotes so that syntax-check.mk
itself doesn't trip it. This is similar to the tricks employed
for the 'sc_prohibit_close' and 'sc_copyright_usage' rules,
among many others.

Libvirt API for virtualization

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.

For some of these hypervisors, it provides a stateful management daemon which runs on the virtualization host allowing access to the API both by non-privileged local users and remote users.

Layered packages provide bindings of the libvirt C API into other languages including Python, Perl, PHP, Go, Java, OCaml, as well as mappings into object systems such as GObject, CIM and SNMP.
