Just so it's clear, I've pushed this small change,

    http://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commitdiff;h=b731d7830e91

not the big one implied by the first message of this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.libvirt/14610

As for its 7 change-sets, I've removed 1/7, which would
have introduced the hard requirement on automake-1.11.

Any objection to committing the rest, 2/7..7/7 and the already-ACK'd
[generate ChangeLog from git logs into distribution tarball] that
depends on them?

If you still want autogen.sh to invoke ./bootstrap,
I can do that separately.
