The examples directory doesn't have a trivial example of how to connect to a hypervisor, make a few calls, and disconnect, so I put one together. I would appreciate any suggestions on anything that I've done wrong as well as suggestions for other fundamental API calls that should be illustrated.

Yes, I checked this example code and it is fine.  My only comment
would be on:

+    /* virConnectOpenAuth called here with all default parameters */
+    conn = virConnectOpenAuth(NULL, virConnectAuthPtrDefault, 0);

It might be better to let people connect to a named URI.

Another possibility is to default to the test URI (test:///default)
since that (almost) always exists.

Hi Rich,

Thanks for taking a look at it. I added a little code to let the user specify a URI on the command line. Do you think it is worth committing?

Dave

    Added a little code to let the user specify the URI of the hypervisor on the command line, per the suggestion of Rich Jones.
