  http://cgit.freedesktop.org/PolicyKit/tree/docs/PORTING-GUIDE

doesn't uindicate how to discriminate at compile time which version
we are compiling against. Please indictate in the porting doc how to
detect the installed version in configure. That's the bare minimum
when you're changing APIs in that way. We obviously need libvirt to
handle older and newer versions !

Also what does
 • No kit_* OOM handling in the new library
means ?
