Split generator into separate source files.

'src/generator.ml' is no more.  Instead the generator is logically
split up over many different source files.

Read generator/README for help and tips.

We compile the generator down to bytecode, not native code.  This
means it will run more slowly, but is done for maximum portability.

+This program generates a large amount of code and documentation for
+all the daemon actions.
+
+To add a new action there are only two files you need to change,
+'generator_actions.ml' to describe the interface, and
+daemon/<somefile>.c to write the implementation.
+
+After editing these files, build it (make -C generator) to regenerate
+all the output files.  'make' will rerun this automatically when
+necessary.
+
+IMPORTANT: This program should NOT print any warnings at compile time
+or run time.  If it prints warnings, you should treat them as errors.
+
+OCaml tips:
+
+(1) In emacs, install tuareg-mode to display and format OCaml code
+correctly.  'vim' comes with a good OCaml editing mode by default.
+
+(2) Read the resources at http://ocaml-tutorial.org/
+
+(3) A module called 'Generator_foo' is defined in one or two files
+called 'generator_foo.mli' and 'generator_foo.ml' (NB: lowercase first
+letter).  The *.mli file, if present, defines the public interface for
+the module.  The *.ml file is the implementation.  If the *.mli file
+is missing then everything is exported.
+
+Some notable files in this directory:
+
+generator_actions.ml          The libguestfs API.
+generator_structs.ml          Structures returned by the API.
+generator_c.ml                Generate C API.
+generator_<lang>.ml           Generate bindings for <lang>.
+generator_main.ml             The main generator program.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Sys::Guestfs - Perl bindings for libguestfs
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+ use Sys::Guestfs;
+
+ my $h = Sys::Guestfs->new ();
+ $h->add_drive ('guest.img');
+ $h->launch ();
+ $h->mount ('/dev/sda1', '/');
+ $h->touch ('/hello');
+ $h->sync ();
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The C<Sys::Guestfs> module provides a Perl XS binding to the
+libguestfs API for examining and modifying virtual machine
+disk images.
+
+Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration
+changes to guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also:
+virt-df), migrating between virtualization systems (see also:
+virt-p2v), performing partial backups, performing partial guest
+clones, cloning guests and changing registry/UUID/hostname info, and
+much else besides.
+
+Libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any type of
+guest filesystem that Linux and qemu can, including but not limited
+to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different disk partition
+schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk.
+
+Libguestfs provides ways to enumerate guest storage (eg. partitions,
+LVs, what filesystem is in each LV, etc.).  It can also run commands
+in the context of the guest.  Also you can access filesystems over
+FUSE.
+
+See also L<Sys::Guestfs::Lib(3)> for a set of useful library
+functions for using libguestfs from Perl, including integration
+with libvirt.
+
+=head1 ERRORS
+
+All errors turn into calls to C<croak> (see L<Carp(3)>).

+  my $proto = shift;

+  my $g = Sys::Guestfs::_create ();
+  my $self = { _g => $g };
+  bless $self, $class;
+  return $self;
+}
+
+=item $h->close ();
+
+Explicitly close the guestfs handle.
+
+B<Note:> You should not usually call this function.  The handle will
+be closed implicitly when its reference count goes to zero (eg.
+when it goes out of scope or the program ends).  This call is
+only required in some exceptional cases, such as where the program
+may contain cached references to the handle 'somewhere' and you
+really have to have the close happen right away.  After calling
+C<close> the program must not call any method (including C<close>)
+on the handle (but the implicit call to C<DESTROY> that happens
+when the final reference is cleaned up is OK).
+
+=item $h->set_progress_callback (\\&cb);
+
+Set the progress notification callback for this handle
+to the Perl closure C<cb>.
+
+C<cb> will be called whenever a long-running operation
+generates a progress notification message.  The 4 parameters
+to the function are: C<proc_nr>, C<serial>, C<position>
+and C<total>.
+
+You should carefully read the documentation for
+L<guestfs(3)/guestfs_set_progress_callback> before using
+this function.
+
+=item $h->clear_progress_callback ();
+
+This removes any progress callback function associated with
+the handle.

+=head1 AVAILABILITY
+
+From time to time we add new libguestfs APIs.  Also some libguestfs
+APIs won't be available in all builds of libguestfs (the Fedora
+build is full-featured, but other builds may disable features).
+How do you test whether the APIs that your Perl program needs are
+available in the version of C<Sys::Guestfs> that you are using?
+
+To test if a particular function is available in the C<Sys::Guestfs>
+class, use the ordinary Perl UNIVERSAL method C<can(METHOD)>
+(see L<perlobj(1)>).  For example:
+
+ use Sys::Guestfs;
+ if (defined (Sys::Guestfs->can (\"set_verbose\"))) {
+   print \"\\$h->set_verbose is available\\n\";
+ }
+
+To test if particular features are supported by the current
+build, use the L</available> method like the example below.  Note
+that the appliance must be launched first.
+
+ $h->available ( [\"augeas\"] );
+
+Since the L</available> method croaks if the feature is not supported,
+you might also want to wrap this in an eval and return a boolean.
+In fact this has already been done for you: use
+L<Sys::Guestfs::Lib(3)/feature_available>.
+
+For further discussion on this topic, refer to
+L<guestfs(3)/AVAILABILITY>.
+
+=head1 STORING DATA IN THE HANDLE
+
+The handle returned from L</new> is a hash reference.  The hash
+normally contains a single element:
+
+ {
+   _g => [private data used by libguestfs]
+ }
+
+Callers can add other elements to this hash to store data for their own
+purposes.  The data lasts for the lifetime of the handle.
+
+Any fields whose names begin with an underscore are reserved
+for private use by libguestfs.  We may add more in future.
+
+It is recommended that callers prefix the name of their field(s)
+with some unique string, to avoid conflicts with other users.

+g.launch ()
+parts = g.list_partitions ()
+
+The guestfs module provides a Python binding to the libguestfs API
+for examining and modifying virtual machine disk images.
+
+Amongst the things this is good for: making batch configuration
+changes to guests, getting disk used/free statistics (see also:
+virt-df), migrating between virtualization systems (see also:
+virt-p2v), performing partial backups, performing partial guest
+clones, cloning guests and changing registry/UUID/hostname info, and
+much else besides.
+
+Libguestfs uses Linux kernel and qemu code, and can access any type of
+guest filesystem that Linux and qemu can, including but not limited
+to: ext2/3/4, btrfs, FAT and NTFS, LVM, many different disk partition
+schemes, qcow, qcow2, vmdk.
+
+Libguestfs provides ways to enumerate guest storage (eg. partitions,
+LVs, what filesystem is in each LV, etc.).  It can also run commands
+in the context of the guest.  Also you can access filesystems over
+FUSE.
+
+Errors which happen while using the API are turned into Python
+RuntimeError exceptions.
+
+To create a guestfs handle you usually have to perform the following
+sequence of calls:
+
+# Create the handle, call add_drive at least once, and possibly
+# several times if the guest has multiple block devices:
+g = guestfs.GuestFS ()
+g.add_drive (\"guest.img\")
+
+# Launch the qemu subprocess and wait for it to become ready:
+g.launch ()
+
+# Now you can issue commands, for example:
+logvols = g.lvs ()
