Okay, I don't really care for the name, except I was wondering about log.h
and since we prefer to align .c and .h names ...

wei:~/libvirt/src -> locate /log.h | wc -l
14

 okay most of them come from kernel source headers, but things like
  /usr/include/avahi-core/log.h
make me feel that a virt prefix is safer ...

  Yup, that's one of the things to do, it's just an initial refactoring
to ease doing the cleanup and extensions.
