--- Comment #14 from Jonathan Lebon <jlebon at redhat dot com> ---
Much has been done since the last update. Almost everything has been
implemented. To try to keep this PR self-contained, here is roughly what has
been done:
- Added stapvirt.c (referred to previously as stap-vm)
- Added the libvirt:// scheme in remote.cxx
- Added stapvirt to the build system
- Added stapvirt.1 man page and cleared up the --remote section in stap.1
- Added sysvinit scripts for non-systemd based systems

Items that remain include:
1. Modifying systemtap.spec
   - To be discussed. E.g. we could have the 'guest' related files
(stapsh@.service, 99-stapsh.rules, sysvinit scripts) in a guest package, e.g.
'systemtap-runtime-virtguest', and the 'host' related files (which is just
stapvirt) in e.g. 'systemtap-runtime-virthost'
2. Testing the sysvinit script on a RHEL5 machine

If you'd like to take a look, I created the jlebon/cross-vm-clean branch which
contains larger diffs for your viewing pleasure. Any testing and feedback would
be welcome!
