Destroy is an overloaded term which would commonly like to be used for actual
destructive operations, such as destroying a domain etc.
Dispose isn't a great term but it does the job.

This allow language bindings to only emit the relevant conversion functions.

All usages are single bit BitFields, AKA booleans.
In general we prefer to use simple structures (e.g. without packing or
specific layouts) in the libxl API and take care of any require
structure by marshalling within the library instead of expecting users
to do so (e.g. the PCI device BDF is unpacked in the libxl API).

The IDL requires a specific value for each enumerate, this make it
much easier to avoid (or at least track) ABI changes since they must
now be explicit.
I believe I have used the same values as would have been chosen
previoulsy but have not confirmed.

Introduce python binding for libxl. The binding is not yet complete but
serveral methods are implemented and tested. Those which are implemented
provide examples of the two or three basic patterns that most future
methods should follow.
Over 5,000 lines of boilerplate is automatically generated to wrap and
export all relevant libxl structure definitions. There are a few places
where such code cannot be fully auto-generated and special hooks are
declared and stubbed where, for example, conversion between
libxl_file_reference and a python file object is required.
