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 f7bd00c12c build: fix build on platforms without ptsname_r
MacOS lacks ptsname_r, and gnulib doesn't (yet) provide it.
But we can avoid it altogether, by using gnulib openpty()
instead.  Note that we do _not_ want the pt_chown module;
gnulib uses it only to implement a replacement openpty() if
the system lacks both openpty() and granpt(), but all
systems that we currently port to either have at least one of
openpty() and/or grantpt(), or lack ptys altogether.  That is,
we aren't porting to any system that requires us to deal with
the hassle of installing a setuid pt_chown helper just to use
gnulib's ability to provide openpty() on obscure platforms.

* .gnulib: Update to latest, for openpty fixes
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_modules): Add openpty, ttyname_r.
(gnulib_tool_option_extras): Exclude pt_chown module.
* src/util/util.c (virFileOpenTty): Rewrite in terms of openpty
and ttyname_r.
* src/util/util.h (virFileOpenTtyAt): Delete dead prototype.

         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.
