 Great ! The container/ldom support and the Java bindings are really the
two next things I really want to see integrated in the next libvirt releases,

 Hum, I would rather avoid the N review passes that we had with the storage
and see things commited early in even if they are not complete or working
perfectly. It then makes the review of cleanups, fixes and extensions way
easier and we don't end up with a huge commit of a lot of stuff. If the 
code is not in a fully usable shape, just deactivate the configure option
by default.

  I would rather keep the type attribute value small, and if possible
the same as the one used for the connection URIs, 'lxr' would be just fine
IMHO

  What do you think of the idea of commiting parts 1/2/3 once we are done
with their second review ?
