  please use plain C if you want the support to be incorporated,
check existing recent drivers code to see how to handle the XML format
parsing and saving, also make sure you don't need too much extra
libraries and that their Licence is compatible with the LGPL of libvirt
otherwise the code will be unusable in the end.

   thanks !
