build: fix 'make distcheck' out of the box
With the 1.1.1 tarball, if a user does 'make && make distcheck', things pass, but if they do 'make distcheck' after 'make clean', there is an odd failure: GEN ../../docs/devhelp/index.html I/O error : Permission denied I/O error : Permission denied runtime error: file ../../docs/devhelp/devhelp.xsl line 43 element document xsltDocumentElem: unable to save to ../../docs/devhelp/libvirt-virterror.html I/O error : Permission denied I/O error : Permission denied This implies that the rules for 'make dist' are missing a dependency - the generated documentation needs to be up-to-date before creating the tarball, or else the tarball will be missing files, where the end user will end up trying to rebuild files in srcdir, and that fails when srcdir is read-only. 1.1.1 plus this patch now works without issues (other issues have crept in to 1.1.2-rc1 that prevent 'make distcheck' from working, but those will be cleaned up in later patches). * docs/Makefile.am (dist-local): New dependency.

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. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
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
