Eric Blake 8f00276c8a maint: consolidate several .gitignore files
Unlike .cvsignore under CVS, git allows for ignoring nested
names.  We weren't very consistent where new tests were
being ignored (some in .gitignore, some in tests/.gitignore),
and I found it easier to just consolidate everything.

* .gitignore: Subsume entries from subdirectories.
* daemon/.gitignore: Delete.
* docs/.gitignore: Likewise.
* docs/devhelp/.gitignore: Likewise.
* docs/html/.gitignore: Likewise.
* examples/dominfo/.gitignore: Likewise.
* examples/domsuspend/.gitignore: Likewise.
* examples/hellolibvirt/.gitignore: Likewise.
* examples/openauth/.gitignore: Likewise.
* examples/domain-events/events-c/.gitignore: Likewise.
* include/libvirt/.gitignore: Likewise.
* src/.gitignore: Likewise.
* src/esx/.gitignore: Likewise.
* tests/.gitignore: Likewise.
* tools/.gitignore: Likewise.

    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
