Good idea.

Yes, nice bug.

Hmm... you reallocate static strings. I think you don't have to care
about argv[] if you create it after fork() in a child process. It
seems odd allocate and dealocate it in a parent if you need't it the
parent process.
Currently I create the argv[] in the main daemon process, principally
so I can easily log the command line to stdout (the child has stdout
redirected). I might be able to move the argv[] creation to the child
which would let me avoid strdup'ing the static strings. It might lead
to subtle bug in future if someone didn't pay attention of the contract
of the method.

is ".myconfig" forbidden filename? Otherwise:
Yeah, I was thinking to only allow config files / vm names with the
letters a-Z, 0-9, -, _ and requiring that they start with a letter.
Perhaps that's overly/unneccessarily strict though.
if (!strcmp(entry->d_name, ".") || !strcmp(entry->d_name,
".."))

Hmm... It seems like duplicate code to virBufferAdd() (xml.c)
Yes, this is one of the bits needing refactoring to be shared across
various places in libvirt.
