Matthias Bolte 66137344fe Use AM_PATH_PYTHON and python-config to detect Python configuration 
Using AM_PATH_PYTHON solves the site-packages directory problem. At least
in Ubuntu with Python 2.6 and later site-packages is renamed to dist-packages
and site-packages is not part of sys.path anymore. So installing the libvirt
Python bindings to site-packages renders them unusable, because they can be
imported from there without manually including site-packages into sys.path.

AM_PATH_PYTHON detects the correct site-packages/dist-packages directory.

python-config --includes gives the correct include path for the Python header
files. The old probing code stays there as fallback mechanism.

* configure.in: use AM_PATH_PYTHON and python-config
* python/Makefile.am: remove -I because PYTHON_INCLUDES contains it now

    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
