Implementation of the NodeDevice class.
Implementation of the Secret class.
Implementation of the NWFilter class.
Implementation of the Interface class.
Conversion of the development tree to git.
New maintainer (Chris Lalancette). David Lutterkort has agreed to transfer maintainership since he is not actively involved in their development anymore.

Short-circuit calls to list functions for empty lists. As an optimizaton (and workaround for a bug in 0.4.3), do not call virConnectList* functions if the coresponding virConnectNumOf* call returned 0. Return an empty list instead.
Add the MIGRATE_LIVE (enum virDomainMigrateFlags) flag.
Fix dom_migrate: (1) allow passing nil for dname and uri, (2) make all but the first two parameters optional.
Add the binding for virConnectFindStoragePoolSources.

Add free methods to the various objects. It is sometimes necessary to free a virXXX object explicitly instead of waiting for the garbage collector to come and do it. This adds explicit free methods that call the underlying virXXXFree functions to do that.
More finegrained exceptions. Errors from libvirt are now translated in not just one but four different kinds of exceptions, and the error message from libvirt's virError structure is returned.

Add the virNodeGetInfo call
Convert Ruby API from StudlyCaps to _ separation. Using one_two_three instead of oneTwoThree is the standard Ruby way.
