  NACK. I really really dislike having internal header names conflicting
with the public one. When one include libvirt.h, inernally or
externally it should be clear what you're getting, and i want to remove
any risk of not including the right header just by mistake.
  Use an intermediate set of files [.c .h], but
   libvirt.c should implement the public entry point of libvirt.h
private entry points in libvirt.c should be kept minimal, no need to
inflate the size of that file needlessly.
  Seems all those functions are really accessors for internal data,
you can put them in accessors.[ch] , that won't change anything radical
since you kept them public anyway :
