You'll want to get familiar with adding new APIs, since almost certainly the current APIs won't cover everything you need to do.

If the client and server are always going to be on the same machine, then there's not a lot of reason to use libguestfs, since you can presumably just run the commands directly (as you appear to do now). On the other hand if you want to control the daemon remotely, then libguestfs would give you some flexibility.
