[Dan Kegel]

FYI.  Seems to be some skepticism about basing libvirt-lxc on
top of liblxc.

  as long as you have libvirt daemon running on the target host, yes
that should work.

  First time I hear about this, to be honnest that was looked at

better synchronize here first, because that may well end up as a
rejected patch set.
