Is it worth introducing these in separate patches, instead of all in one go? At any rate, this is big enough that I haven't reviewed it in detail yet, but the concept of factoring out the common code seems nice. Let's make a deal :) If you look at my virCommand series, I'll look at this! -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
