[libvirt] [PATCH 1/2] libvirtd.init: improve portability

[Eric Blake <eblake@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This patch kills translation of the daemon messages, but being a
daemon, the messages probably didn't need translation in the first
place.  Other alternatives would be to make the script require

* daemon/libvirtd.init.in (start, stop, reload): Drop bash-ism of
$"".  Use printf instead of echo -n.
---

Just as 'echo -e' is non-portable, so is 'echo -n'.  Plus, $"" and
#!/bin/sh don't mix.  Any opinions on the issue of translating the
output of the libvirt daemon, or is this patch okay as-is?
