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.
Partial reversion of commit 76d87a59, now that bootstrap is smarter.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for poll and bootstrap fixes.
* bootstrap: Resync from gnulib.
* autogen.sh: Drop redundant tool checks; bootstrap does them
better, by honoring environment variables.
* examples/domain-events/events-c/Makefile.am (INCLUDES)
(event_test_LDADD): Use gnulib library during build.
* bootstrap.conf (gnulib_tool_option_extras): Revert --libtool
addition, now that updated bootstrap does it for us.

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.
