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.

Eric Blake e570f87a3d build: fix 'make dist' on virgin checkout
'make dist' was depending on *protocol-structs files, which are
stored in git but in turn depended on generated files.  We still
want to ship the protocol-structs files, but by renaming the
tests to something not matching a file name, we separate 'make
check' (which depends on the generated file) from 'make dist'
(which only depends on the git files).  After all, the tarball
should never depend on a generated file not stored in git.

I found one more case of a git file depending on a generated
file, in a bogus virkeycode.c listing; but at least this one
had no associated rules so it never broke 'make dist'.

Reported by Wen Congyang.  Latent bug has been present since
commit 62dee6f, but only recently exposed by commit 7bff56a.

* src/Makefile.am ($(srcdir)/util/virkeycode.c): Drop useless
dependency.
(BUILT_SOURCES): ...and build virkeymaps.h sooner.
(PROTOCOL_STRUCTS): Rather than depend on the struct file...
(check-local): ...convert things into a phony target of...
(check-protocol): ...a new check.
($(srcdir)/remote_protocol-struct): Rename to isolate the distributed
file from the conditional test.
(PDWTAGS): Deal with rename.  Swap to compare 'expected actual'.

         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.
