This version of the patch includes information on TLS certificate files,

Any reason to truncate the name at Compilatio?

+ libvirt uses the standard configure/make/install steps:

+ <pre>
+ gunzip -c libvirt-xxx.tar.gz | tar xvf -
+ cd libvirt-xxxx
3 xxx vs. 4 xxxx in the two lines should be consistent.
+ <pre>
+ ./configure [possible options]
+ make
+ make install</pre>
Maybe list the last line as:
[sudo] make install
to help point out that installation is the only part of the process that
must be run as root when doing a system-wide install, but that root
rights are not needed when installing somewhere under $HOME for a single
user?

Oh - just doc motion from the earlier incomplete name. But now that the
target is on a new page, we might as well fix the target name.

Requiring features of libtool 2.4 supposedly makes this easier, but yes,
it does need more investigation.
I hope to get further on a cygwin port of libvirt someday, at which
point I'll have to provide updates for this page.
