Matthias Bolte b590866bdb freebsd: Fix build problem due to picking up the wrong libvirt.h
Gettext annoyingly modifies CPPFLAGS in-place, putting
-I/usr/local/include into the search patch if libintl headers
must be used from that location.  But since we must support
automake 1.9.6 which lacks AM_CPPFLAGS, and since CPPFLAGS is used
prior to INCLUDES, this means that the build picks up the _old_
installed libvirt.h in priority to the in-tree version, leading
to all sorts of weird build failures on FreeBSD.

Fix this by teaching configure to undo gettext's actions, but
to keep any changes required by gettext at the end of INCLUDES
after all in-tree locations are used first.  Also requires
adding a wrapper Makefile.am and making gnulib-tool create
just gnulib.mk files during the bootstrap process.

    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
