Ok, I've committed this code now, with the two cleanups I mention above.
Example usage looks like:

$ virsh --connect test:///default list
 Id Name                 State
----------------------------------
  0 Domain-0             running 

$ virsh --connect test:///default dominfo 0
Id:             0
Name:           Domain-0
UUID:           00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000
OS Type:        linux
State:          running 
CPU(s):         2
CPU time:       1149561216.0s
Max memory:     8388608 kB
Used memory:    2097152 kB
