Eric Blake cb33ee1fad build: clean up CPPFLAGS/INCLUDES usage
Our syntax checker missed all-lower-case variables (this will
be fixed by the next .gnulib update).  Additionally, anywhere
that we mix in-tree files with generated files, automake recommends
listing builddir prior to srcdir for VPATH builds.

* src/Makefile.am (*_la_CFLAGS): Favor $(top_srcdir).
(INCLUDES): Likewise, and follow automake recommendations on
builddir before srcdir.
* python/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Swap directory order.
* tests/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Likewise.
* tools/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Likewise.
* daemon/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Likewise.
(libvirtd.init, libvirtd.service): Favor $().
* examples/hellolibvirt/Makefile.am (hellolibvirt_LDADD):
Likewise.
* examples/openauth/Makefile.am (openauth_LDADD): Likewise.
* examples/dominfo/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Drop dead include.
* examples/domsuspend/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): 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
