I want to build a libvirt-based system to host VMs, and I do not want
to use a complete distro for that : I do not care about the handy-dandy
init stuff, I don't care about networking auto-managing stuff, no fscking
desktop stuff... I just want a basic system that just runs a libvirt daemon,
and manages the VMs.

I want to build a completly-static QEMU, and that's not possible on a
desktop/server distro that uses glibc, because static linking still pulls
the NSS libs. So, rather than creating a new 'framework', I just decided
to reuse something. ;-)

I want to play! ;-)

Doh... :/

Of course! :-)

Okydoky.

Thank you!
