  The main impact is not covered by this patch, it's the documentation
generation, which also mean that on the web site the doc page for libvirt 
would become nearly empty and 4 new pages would be added. 
  I'm not against the change (though it will break all previous reference
to documentation functions embedded in list archives) but the documentation
impact seems to not have been considered and it's not neglectible, really.
