Has support for creating or using lxc containers on remote machines been added to libvirt yet?

https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/lxc.html says "Libvirt is a powerful hypervisor management solution with which you can administer Qemu, Xen and LXC virtual machines, both locally and remote." so I assume it's been done and I'm just having trouble seeing it...

as long as you have libvirt daemon running on the target host, yes that should work.

otoh, I hear libvirt-lxc is going to be rewritten on top of liblxc Real Soon Now, maybe that has some bearing on the question.

First time I hear about this, to be honnest that was looked at in the past and was looking quite unlikely, so I wonder what makes you think that way. Before anybody starts to work in that direction they'd better synchronize here first, because that may well end up as a rejected patch set.
