libvirt 0.9.6.1 maintenance release is now available. This is
libvirt 0.9.6 with additional bugfixes that have accumulated
upstream since the initial release.

This release can be downloaded at:

http://libvirt.org/sources/stable_updates/libvirt-0.9.6.1.tar.gz

I tried to be fairly conservative here, only pulling in patches we either
already carried in Fedora 16, or fixed bugs filed against Fedora 16. If anyone
else is planning on using this release, and knows of useful and safe backport
candidates for future releases, please let me know.
