Given Doug's work we're probably at a state where we can do a real
release of the separated bindings. We've a little more work to make
python code work with libvirt back to 0.9.6 which is what OpenStack
targets as a min version. We also found we missed moving the
example programs. Those two things should be doable though.

Agree that we should probably take the chance to bump the version
to 1.2.0 since it is a significant milestone.
