VM-Tools 0.0.2

[Anthony Liguori <aliguori@us.ibm.com>]

Hi all,

I've posted an updated version of VM-Tools.  This version doesn't have 
many user-visible changes but is almost a complete rewrite.  VM-Tools is 
slowly become what it is intended to be, a small library that provides 
high level APIs for managing Xen with some example command line tools.

This version includes a first pass at a library abstraction, a simple 
(and incomplete) Python binding using Pyrex, buffered console support, a 
virtual device abstraction (that's designed to eventually support DSOs), 
and lots of bug fixes.

This version still has some issues and I wouldn't recommend using it for 
production use but it's been used by a few people without any sort of 
data corruption.

One of the things I'd really like to see is a standard higher-level 
library and virtual device layer that was used by all tools (vm-tools, 
Xend, etc.).  What does everyone else think?  Is the VM-Tools library 
too high level for use in something like Xend?

As usually, I'd greatly appreciate any feedback on the tools/library.
