[Libguestfs] [PATCH 0/5] Add new tools virt-tar and virt-ls and tidy up the tools code

This patch series starts by tidying up the code for the virt-cat, virt-df, virt-edit, etc tools, moving them into a single directory and making the build system much simpler as a consequence. Then we add two new tools, virt-tar (a general purpose archive and upload tool) and virt-ls (for listing directories). No new functionality is enabled by these tools -- that is to say, you can do everything that these tools do using guestfish -- but having separate programs and manual pages for them should make them more accessible for simple tasks to some users.
