Well I'm glad you generally approve :).

I've done a number of things since this announcement:

- added getopt_long option parsing.
- to solve the config issue I used /etc/sysconfig/libvirt-qpid environment
  variable to pass in broker host and port.  Maybe a config file would be
  better I'm not sure.
- daemonization/init script.

So it basically works on an ovirt node now.  I'm just getting some bugs fixed
and it should "work".  Still some things to do like reconnect, libvirt
error codes etc. but it's coming.

I'll let you know how chatty it gets when there's lots of nodes. :)
