+ libcmpiutil : A CMPI toolkit library for writing providers
+
+Libcmpiutil is a library of utility functions for CMPI providers. It
+is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public
+License. The goal is to reduce the amount of repetitive work done in
+most CMPI providers by encapsulating common procedures with more
+"normal" APIs. This extends from operations like getting typed
+instance properties to standardizing method dispatch and argument
+checking.
+
+The latest version of the library can be found here:
+
+
http://libvirt.org/hg/libcmpiutil
+
+ Development discussion currently takes place on the libvirt-cim
+ mailing list:
