Oh right, forgot about the docs generator pain. Of course it can wait
till after 1.0.0
"fixing" the generator should not be too hard, libxml2 also uses
split headers and the generator handle it, I guess it should be a
few lines of cut and paste or copy. The libxml2 version parses all
.h found by glob unless listed in self.excludes, and the libvirt
version evolved to restrict to the ones found in the self.includes
Two options:
+ extend the include to the new set of files possibly by doing
a glob in the directory containing libvirt.h
+ switch to an exclude mechanism, but it may become painful to
maintain
Related code is docs/apibuild.py rebuild() and docBuilder::scan()
