I'm running out of time, so I'm going to dump what I've got:

* I already moaned about gotos.

* Why does the patch change the set_trace test in generator.ml?

* Don't just comment out xread: remove it. These pile up over time and 
make the code unreadable.

* Don't put a usleep() in read_log_message_or_eog. I understand your 
argument, but in this case the cure is worse than the disease. If you 
think about it, the patch back into the main loop and back here is 
actually very short, and very cheap. As well as being ugly as sin, this 
usleep is only going to slow it down.

* guestfs__send and send_file_chunk both leak msg_out in the non-error case.

I'll continue until I have to go.
