Bah, after some thought, IMHO, no need to bother. For the time being, I
can compile libvirt fine by disabling LXC, which is just as good since I
don't use it.

I notified the bug because I'm using the latest Ubuntu distro with LTS
(Long Term Support), which is the one we usually advise to our clients,
and there won't be a new LTS before April 2010. So that would have been
a long time to wait to get the LXC functionnality in libvirt on a LTS
version.

But such is life :) So if I have clients that *really* want LXC, they
will have to depart from Ubuntu 8.04, and use one of the more recent,
non-LTS distros.
