Usually when I look at a source code directory layout it's fairly 
obvious what belongs in each directory. I'll be honest, I've never quite 
understood the role of ipapython vs. ipalib. From time to time I have to 
do some code refactoring, especially in the context of introducing 
common code meant to be shared across a variety of places in the code base.

So what is the role of ipalib vs. ipapython? What are their intended 
purposes? What guidelines should be followed when determining where 
shared code is located?
