Very nice.

You might also add a test that runs 
        augparse -I . test_libvirtd.aug
during 'make check'

Augeas should throw an error here, but doesn't ;) The default value you
give as the second argument of del really should match the first
(regexp) argument.

Also, Augeas automatically promotes strings to regexps as needed, so you
can say

        let array_end = del "]" "]"

You should really have some sort of label on each array element/str val
(either the same for all of them using 'label' or just consecutive
numbers using 'seq') - without that, you won't be able to get to
individual entries through the public API.

We've been trying to label all comments as '#comment'; it's not an issue
for libvirt, but with some other file formats, using 'comment' leads to
conflicts with actual entries. Would be good to stick to that
convention.

> +   let empty = [ label "empty" . del /[ \t]*\n/ "" ]

Do you really care that empty entries show up in the tree ? If you don't
want to see them, you can remove the 'label' from the above, and
possibly also the '[ .. ]'.

And the missing check for 'del' strikes again - that needs to be
'del /[ \t]*\n/ "\n"' - I really need to fix that.

I've been thinking that we need to have some function that reads a file
and returns a string so we don't have to clutter tests with these long
strings. But for now, that's what it is :(

This happens because str_array_element produces tree nodes without
labels. Users won't have a way to change e.g. the 'DN1' value to 'myDN'
since you can't address a node without a label through the public API.

All in all, very nice, and I am really glad that upstream is shipping a
lens :)
