MinGW: It's got an icon and it works!

As you can see from the screenshot below, I addressed Nicu's complaint and added a simple icon to the virsh (virt shell) EXE file. Here's how to do that again using all open source tools. We also a fixed a rather embarrassing endianness bug in our XDR implementation, and so virsh/libvirt can talk to remote libvirtd servers.

Looking at the mailing list archive: you can create the final .ico file with GIMP on Linux, having all the different resolutions at separate layers inside the same file

Hey Nicu, you wouldn't have a link to that would you?

In the end we decided to punt on this issue and let someone who actually uses Windows / Vista in the libvirt community submit a good icon.
