  Hum, i was looking at this, yes using a new haeader makes sense,
I will also move the libvirt error initialization to virterror.c

  But the problem is that we already have a virterror.h header which
is the public one, I think adding a second one internally with the same
name is a recipe for confusion. Let's name the internal one error.h
(or virt_error.h) but not the same.

  I think the name clash between the private and public header is more
problematic than having a slightly different name for the .c and .h
  virterror.c implements the entry points for the public header
virterror.h, like libvirt.c implements the entry points for the public
header libvirt.h . having a second internel error header separate
from internal.h is fine but we should just avoid the name clash.

  +1 for renaming to error.h or virt_error.h
