[libvirt] (Dropping) OOM Handling in libvirt

One thing that I've realized was that we have the NSS plugin which 
currently links statically with a small library that we build aside 
(src/libvirt-nss.la). The plugin uses virHash, virObject, virString and 
some other submodules of ours. If we replace our implementation with 
glib then effectively every process that ever calls gethostbyname() will 
be dynamically linking with glib/gobject/....

Don't know if it's a bad thing, just putting it out here to consider.
