Re: [libvirt] remote_protocol.c not compiling
Thanks this was extremely helpful. I wish I had this when I first started
working with libvirt. Incidental, I have not shared the api that I
created with the libvirt community because I think it was premature and
that there is a better approach than the creating a new api. Specifically,
I think a better approach is to expand the existing xml for defining
domains and storage. When I'm ready I'll share the ideas with the rest of
the libvirt community.

It's necessary to run 'make rpcgen' in the qemud directory to create the
.c and .h files required by the remote protocol code. This must be done
on a Linux host using the GLibC rpcgen program. Other rpcgen versions
may generate code which results in bogus compile time warnings.
