This example code illustrates connecting to the hypervisor and making some simple API calls.
Added a little code to let the user specify the URI of the hypervisor on the command line, per the suggestion of Rich Jones.
Changes per Jim Meyering
Handle failure of virConnectNumOfDomains and virConnectNumOfDefinedDomains
Changed malloc to use size of variable, not type
Removed unneeded NULL check before free
Removed unneeded initialization of several variables
Changed assignment to use the ternary operator
Added examples/hellolibvirt to the parent autoconf/automake files and created Makefile.am
Add showError function to display error data generated by libvirt.
