BTW this typo is also present in mingw32 libs_qga, I have sent a patch
to fix it.

So -lxnet isn't required in plain old LIBS?

It's a question of generation AFAIU, I didn't like it either. By using
the old libs, then due to Solaris' backwards compatibility we are able
to run them on older Solaris versions in theory. We should be using the
same libs consistently in QEMU, and I don't like double-coding them.
Those comments were not yet addressed, just as my suggested subject for
the timer patch and the ordering of the patches was deliberately
ignored. :/ Since my patience is limited, I plan to fix them up myself
before applying them to my Solaris branch and sending a PULL.

<rant>

What? I'm trying here ... I don't understand the ordering comment, your suggestion was about putting more meaningful titles, I've tried to do that.

Blimey ... this isn't my job, this is my own time ... I'm doing this because I want to try to make things better and it feels like I'm having to jump through ever decreasing hoops.

I'm new to the whole git patch submission thing (as is obviously apparent) ... so give me a break.

And let's be clear here ... at the moment there is no support for Solaris, there are countless fundamental fixes that need to go in before it will even get close ... let alone thinking about kvm.

I've tried very hard not to break any other platform, but still I can't even get a single thing applied.

</rant>

Ok, since I'm obviously incapable of providing patches in the right form, let me know if I can help in any other way. For now I will just maintain a separate tree.

Lee.
