For the libvirtd we currently use two ports

My first thought is that we should really use consequetive port numbers eg 16510 and 16511.
A few comments ...
We don't need to use two ports if we either use a "STARTTLS"-style upgrading of unencrypted to encrypted connections (which is the recommended way to do things instead of using two ports), or more simply we just ditch unencrypted connections. They're disabled by default anyway and not in any way required unless we want libvirt to build without GnuTLS.
Well if we can implement the detection automatically, I'm all for reducing to a single port ! I still want to be able to build without the dependancy and optionally allow unencrypted connections.
No one got my ZX81 joke, obviously ...
Ahum, I certainly didn't, my childhood memory includes an UNIVAC but no ZX81!
