Sorry, I was being unnecessarily brief to say the least. I believe this
addresses all Dan's review comments, and picks up his suggestion of
declining the Xen driver to non-daemon users. An additional change I
forgot to mention was the dropping of the sigpipe handling in virsh - I
hadn't noticed that behaviour has changed since 0.4.0, and the
connection failure happens much earlier now.

regards,
john
