Hi Anthony,
What I'm suggesting is a library for KVM that sits between the command
line interface and the functions for creating, destroying, starting,
stopping, migrating, etc. When I looked at the code it appeared that KVM
was actually a modified QEMU. I didn't realize at the time that there was
actually a libqemu. The subject line of my post was referring to whether
the API would be considered libqemu instead of libkvm. Sorry for the
confusion.
Thanks,
-G

What do you mean by libqemu? The libqemu in the QEMU project is a
library for the CPU translation. It actually doesn't really serve a
purpose in the context of KVM. It is not the sort of thing you'd write
a GUI tool around.
