Personally, I think they are a good addition, but I haven't yet had time
to review them closely for potential coding gotchas.  Rest assured, it's
on my todo list, and either these patches, or a further refined version,
will be included in the next libvirt release.

Sorry for the delays; it's been a busy week (I've been swamped trying to
debug libvirt crashes, which takes a higher priority on my plate over
libvirt feature additions).  Don't give up yet; and it's fine to ping us
every few days if we continue to drag our feet!
