-errno? Interesting. I recently fixed calls to virFileMakePath which 
were looking for return < 0 to look for return != 0, because it returns 
the value of errno (not -errno) in case of an error. Should I have 
changed virFileMakePath to return -errno instead? All of the negations 
through different paths in multiple layers might start to get confusing...
