[Libvir] [PATCH] Always build in python/ subdir.

[Jim Meyering]

Hi guys,

I'd like to remove the PYTHON_SUBDIR parameter, but (of course)
still allow configure/build to proceed even when python-devel is
not installed.

Why?
Because with the current code, I was able to build and _try_ to test
a broken distribution tarball.

Here's how it happened:

    While I had temporarily removed python-devel, I configured/built
    libvirt, ran "make check" to ensure that everything was ok, created a
    tarball to test on a remote RHEL5 system, and copied it over.  But on
    the RHEL5 system, configure failed due to lack of python/Makefile.in.
    The entire python/ directory was missing.

With the following change, I've confirmed it works as well as before
(on both rawhide and RHEL5), yet can't cause the trouble I described:

	Always build in python/ subdir.
	* configure.in (PYTHON_SUBDIR): Don't set.  Remove all uses.
	* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Hard-code "python" here.
	(tests): Test equivalent "$(pythondir)", not @PYTHON_SUBDIR at .
