   What I actually want todo is to be able to probe the libvirt local drivers

   lightweight  virConnectOpen which merely returns TRUE/FALSE and doesn't
   actually allocate a virConnectPtr object. Need to extend the internal
   driver API for this.

I wanted this feature too, however I don't think the way that you're proposing is right.

Just as virConnectGetCapabilities returns the capabilities of the current hypervisor, I think there should be a call like 'virGetInfo' (or something like that) which returns the capabilities of the node, which would include what hypervisors are supported.
