Indeed - libvirt-lxc-0.dll makes NO sense at all, because lxc is a
Linux-only concept. I'll try and figure out why the mingw spec is
attempting to compile a dll that should not be needed.
But the libraries are RPC clients, so in general they can be
run anywhere. ie disabling LXC or QEMU driver in libvirtd
does not imply that libvirt-lxc.dll and libvirt-qemu.dll should
be disabled.
Now it happens that libvirt-lxc.dll doesn't have any useful APIs
you can use on Windows yet, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't
compile it
