What I'd like to see is libvirt's ability to spawn commands inside
guest. But it is not that simple. I mean, the hardest part is to design
public libvirt API. For instance, we'd have to deal with both blocking &
non-blocking (i.e. long-running) commands; then we would need to give
users possibility to read command's output (possibly asynchronously).

With this, you'd just: virDomainRunCommand(dom, 'df', '-h', NULL); or
something and you'd be good.
