Libvirt Rust bindings could use some work

Hello, I was reading the Rust bindings for libvirt and I noticed that they are not very idiomatic. A couple of examples: 1. It is conventional to have a *-sys crate containing only the C interface and the linking configuration. The virt crate would then depend on this libvirt-sys crate to implement a safe and ergonomic wrapper. 2. The API heavily uses integers to indicate flags. Sometimes those integers are type aliased and sometimes they are not. In Rust, this can be much nicer, using enums to represent only valid flags. The same applies to some return values. 3. Since libvirt is thread-safe, the Rust types could be Send and Sync, so that they can also be used in a multithreaded context. Special care needs to be taken with translating virGetLastError to Rust Results, but it shouldn't be a problem. For a nice example of a Rust wrapper around a C library, see: https://github.com/rust-lang/git2-rs I am willing to send some patches to fix some of these problems, but this will almost certainly lead to breaking API changes, and I am not sure what your opinion is on that. Finally, while I am not a legal expert, I believe that licensing a Rust library as LGPL does not make much sense. Rust does not have a stable ABI so everything is statically linked. This means that adding virt to a Cargo.toml file of a non-GPL application is already in violation of the license. Thanks, Wim
