The attached patch provides a new driver backend for libvirt which

Okay, but I'm getting a bit lost about the potential daemons running,
there one can be autostarted, in the previous patch we also potentially
fork(fork(daemon)) so I'm wondering how many process are actually running
in the end, maybe I will need a couple of pictures, like in the current
architecture page http://libvirt.org/architecture.html (which will have
to be updated too :-)
But this looks fun ! A lot of code looks familiar, seems there is many
path we could identify as duplicate and put in a library ...

haha :-) At least worth a big TODO !
Shouldn't qemud_internal.c gets its own error reporting function like the
other _internal.c which does the right stuff, I only spotted returns of
error values, and this is linked to the client binary so this seems to be
missing, right ?

ideally clean ;-)

I'm a bit lost on that one, was that a separate bug ?
We switch from a static string to dynamically allocated one, right ?

I guess some new error code will need to be added too once quemud_internal.c
is being updated ... Hum, how do we process errors provided by the server ?
