[libvirt] Question about supporting other hypervisor

[Atsushi SAKAI]

Hi, Daniel

I am looking around the wbemexec code on openpegasus.
and count its code size.(seems small than I expected)
Then I raised the question.

Of course, Dan Smith's suggestion is very helpful advice.

Thanks
Atsushi SAKAI
