[libvirt] Release of libvirt-0.6.4

[Daniel Veillard]

  The monthly release is out !

There is a number of new things in that release, but as happens in
time-based releases some are not fully complete, for example the
OpenNebula driver was added but it still need a bit of work on the
detection code and a bit of cleanup to avoid a GPL/AFS licencing
issue, so please don't enable it except for test builds. We also
have a new set of Interface config APIs but they are not yet
implemented by a driver and the XML import/export routines are not
there yet. Still there is a lot of things to use and discover in this
