Daniel P. Berrange 3e2f27e13b Don't link virt-login-shell against libvirt.so (CVE-2013-4400) 
The libvirt.so library has far too many library deps to allow
linking against it from setuid programs. Those libraries can
do stuff in __attribute__((constructor) functions which is
not setuid safe.

The virt-login-shell needs to link directly against individual
files that it uses, with all library deps turned off except
for libxml2 and libselinux.

Create a libvirt-setuid-rpc-client.la library which is linked
to by virt-login-shell. A config-post.h file allows this library
to disable all external deps except libselinux and libxml2.

    libvirt Python Bindings README
    ==============================

Most of the libvirt python binding code is automatically generated
using the script  generator.py, and the API description from
docs/libvirt-api.xml


Manually written files:

 - libvirt-override.c: methods where the C binding needs to be hand crafted
 - libvirt-override.py: global methods where the C and python bindings have different args
 - libvirt-override-api.xml: methods where the auto-extracted API docs are not
   suitable for python auto-generator. Overriding this if the method is going
   into libvirt-override.c, but we still want auto-generated libvirt-override.py
 - libvirt-override-virConnect.py: virConnect class methods
 - typewrappers.h,.c: Python object wrappers for each libvirt C object


Auto-generated files:

  - libvirt.py: The main python binding. Comprises auto-generated code, along
    with contents from libvirt-override.py and libvirt-override-virConnect.py
  - libvirt.c, libvirt.h: The C glue layer for the python binding. Comprises
    auto-generated code, along with libvirt-override.c
  - libvirt-export.c: List of auto-generated C methods, included into
    the libvirt-override.c method table
