[Libguestfs] A note about hivex

[Richard W.M. Jones]

I'm currently disentangling the semi-separate 'hivex' library from the
libguestfs sources, so it will become a separate upstream project.

The git URL of the new hivex project is here:

http://git.annexia.org/?p=hivex.git;a=summary

Tarballs will be released in the usual downloads directory
(http://libguestfs.org/download/) but there are none there yet.  We
will also create a separate Fedora package.

Libguestfs will have hivex as an optional dependency, in order to
enable various tools.  At first just the virt-win-reg tool, which
remains a part of libguestfs.  Later more advanced features of
virt-inspector to deal with Windows guests, which are not written yet.

For any questions or patches for hivex, use the normal libguestfs
mailing list, bug tracker etc.

Rich.

powerful monitoring features, net stats, disk stats, logging, etc.
