[virt-tools-list] [useless patch] tracking lxc containers in virt-manager

[Serge E. Hallyn]

All right this isn't particularly useful on its own.  It needs at least
support added for adding new containers.  As it is, all it lets you do
is see a list of your lxc containers in virt-manager, track whether they
are running, and, if not, start them.  But I've been sitting on this for
awhile and haven't gotten around to doing that, so I'm hoping that
sending this out will either spur me or someone else on to actually do
that.

thanks,
