Re: [libvirt] [PATCH 1/9] Add helpers for resolving path to resources in build tree

Add virFileFindResource which will try to locate files in the local build tree if the calling binary (eg libvirtd or test suite) is being run from the build tree. The corresponding virFileActivateDirOverride should be called at startup passing in argv[0]. This will be examined for evidence of libtool magic binary prefix / sub-directory in order to activate the override. Signed-off-by: Daniel P.
