I'm not sure that's true.  There's general WSGI infrastructure (plenty
of options there outside of nova's infrastructure) and then there's the
implementation of the API, which is all tied into the way nova works.
It requires the nova database with its view of the state of the world.
If all you want is an API proxy, why would you want to have to go
through all of this pain to keep nova's view in sync with some other
virt management system's view?  *That* seems like a waste to me.
