I've just sent out updates of the patch series, which I believe includs all
the bug fixes & suggestions raised in this thread - there were alot of replies
so there's a possibly i've missed one or two comments, but most should be
there.

The storage_{driver,conf,backend} and all backends have been re-formated to
keep under 80 columns, with only a handful of exceptions where I didn't want
to wrap static constant strings.

All the new strings are marked for translations so make syntax-check passes.
Format strings on virReportError are now correct - gcc annotation picked up
a few bugs. The inclusion of bare 'errno' is mostly removed.

And all the other coments...

The patches should apply cleanly to today's CVS.

For convenience you can grab them all directly from

   http://hg.berrange.com/libraries/libvirt--storage

NB, only the patches prefixed with 'storage-XXXX' are submitted here.

Dan.
