You are more than welcome to try patches that make the module usable from a library context, as it does seem like a worthwhile feature to offer from a library. I will warn, however, that the current maintainer of the module is listed as Bruno Haible, and he has been relatively slow at responding to license requests lately; this may be a case where we have to appeal to the FSF (and get rms' permission) if we can't track down permission from the original author, and that may be time-consuming even if we have patches in hand to eliminate calls to exit(). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
