Re: [libvirt] [PATCH] daemon: Drop dependency on libvirt-admin.so

Currently, the daemon requires libvirt-admin.so because the
functions encoding/decoding RPC messages for admin APIs live
there. But this makes it very hard to split admin API into its
own separate package: if libvirt-admin.so is going to live in a
separate package than the daemon, either both packages must be
installed or none.
Solve this by statically linking the RPC message handling
functions with the daemon.
I don't see the problem with having the daemon depend on
libvirt-admin.so - it already depends on libvirt.so after
all, and for example in Debian that is reflected by having
the libvirt-daemon package (which contains libvirtd)
depend on libvirt0 (which contains libvirt.so). It would
just be a matter of adding a dependency on libvirt-admin0,
or whatever the package would end up being called.
