build: automatically rerun ./bootstrap when needed
When "git pull" (or any other operation) brings in a new version of the gnulib git submodule, you must rerun the autogen.sh script. With this change, "make" now fails and tells you to run ./autogen.sh, when needed. * autogen.sh: Maintain a new file, .git-module-status, containing the current submodule status. If it doesn't exist or its content is different from what "git submodule status" prints, then run ./bootstrap * .gitignore: Add .git-module-status * cfg.mk: Diagnose out of date submodule and fail. * README-hacking: Update not to mention bootstrap. * Makefile.am (MAINTAINERCLEANFILES): Add .git-module-status, so that "make maintainerclean" will remove it.
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

virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
