[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/5] Add new tools virt-tar and virt-ls and tidy up the tools code

[Richard W.M. Jones]

This patch series starts by tidying up the code for the virt-cat,
virt-df, virt-edit, etc tools, moving them into a single directory and
making the build system much simpler as a consequence.

Then we add two new tools, virt-tar (a general purpose archive and
upload tool) and virt-ls (for listing directories).

No new functionality is enabled by these tools -- that is to say, you
can do everything that these tools do using guestfish -- but having
separate programs and manual pages for them should make them more
accessible for simple tasks to some users.

Rich.
