[Libvir] libvirtd - configuration file

Libvirtd needs a configuration file.  It's very simple - just to store 
the services on which it's listening, and optionally to configure port 
numbers and paths.

Libvirt so far doesn't have a concept of a configuration file, except 
that obviously domain descriptions come out of XML files.

Do people on list have a preference for a style of configuration file? 
An alternative is to configure entirely via the command line.

Rich.

PS: Personally when administering a machine there is nothing worse than 
finding an XML configuration file ...
