Solar, all -

I tried to compile vzctl 3.3 on Owl and got a configure error -- it
needs a new ploop library:

http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/ploop/1.4

(Also it needs pkg-config in Makefiles, but it is trivial to patch.)

I tried to compile ploop and got another configure error: no libxml2
library.  AFAICS, it is heavily used in container checkpoint-restart
process.

We can do 3 things:

1) remove libxml/CPT/ploop code from vzctl.
2) add ploop and libxml2 libraries to Owl.
3) stay at vzctl 3.0.23.

I'm going with (3) now as it doesn't limit our future wishes.
Forwardporting bitness patch will be rather simple, I guess.

Thanks,
