Currently the RAPI client uses the urllib2 and httplib modules from
Python's standard library. They're used with pyOpenSSL in a very fragile
way, and there are known issues when receiving large responses from a RAPI
server.

By switching to PycURL we leverage the power and stability of the
widely-used curl library (libcurl). This brings us much more flexibility
than before, and timeouts were easily implemented (something that would
have involved a lot of work with the built-in modules).

There's one small drawback: Programs using libcurl have to call
curl_global_init(3) (available as pycurl.global_init) while exactly one
thread is running (e.g. before other threads) and are supposed to call
curl_global_cleanup(3) (available as pycurl.global_cleanup) upon exiting.
See the manpages for details. A decorator is provided to simplify this.

Unittests for the new code are provided, increasing the test coverage of
the RAPI client from 74% to 89%.

Xen: Just specify 3.0 or above as a requirement, as versions above 3.1
have been tested and work fine with Ganeti. Also note that the Xen
dependency is optional, if one wants to work with KVM.

KVM: list as an alternative, specify that 72 (the one shipped with
lenny) is the bare minimum, but newer qemu-kvm is recommended.

This big patch converts the documentation build system to sphinx
(http://sphinx.pocoo.org/

). Since that uses reStructuredText sources
too, there is no change (yet) in the documents themselves, just in the
build system.

As before, the docs are pre built by the maintainer, and the end-user
doesn't need sphinx or other rst tools to build the docs. Note that we
are not distributing PDFs, so building that will require the tools.

The docs will be stored under doc/html and the build system also need an
extra directory doc/build. These are considered (by automake)
maintainer-related objects and are removed at maintainer-clean time.

The patch also fixes some small issues: add a docpng variable, add
doc/api (also generated by maintainer) in maintainer-clean-local, etc.

Since 8.0.6 and lower have issues that break Ganeti's usage of drbd,

This patch does:
  - add drbd8 information to the docs (the new disk template, examples,
    etc.)
  - fixes a section header to make it more clear
  - update the NEWS file by changing format (format taken by looking at
    /usr/sharea/doc/*/NEWS.gz) and adding more information on changes
    since beta1

This duplicates some code from the DRBDev class, but not very much, and
it will be expanded with the new functionality available for the 8.x
version. Currently the code is not accessible outside the module.

In case one installs from source, make, tar and gzip are also needed. tar and
gzip are almost always installed, but make not, so let's add a note about that.

Also remove a '>' in the apt-get install example so copy-paste works.

This removes the section on packages from installing.sgml (until we have
packages) and adds/corrects informations about using the startup script.

It also adds notes about the ``--master-netdev`` option, which one needs
to use if the node doesn't have an interface named xen-br0 (or if it's
not the interface wanted for external access).

This changes installing.sgml, adding details about required software and
OS instances. It also updates INSTALL and README to correspond with the
sgml manual.
