Interesting.  Can you expand on how this is different than the  
services currently provided by libxc?  Is the idea to simply have a  
wrapper around libxc that can be LGPL and, possibly, be extended to  
work with other virtualization mechanisms?  Or does libvir provide  
services not found in libxc?

Thanks,
bryan
