Daniel's trick of using 'path/to/libvirt/run make' is good enough to not
need this file.  Or, you could modify your $PATH to include
/path/to/libvirt, and just use 'run make', even after nuking non-tracked
files in the repository.

At this point, I still don't think it's worth adding anything further to
the libvirt-python repository, other than documentation in README about
using Dan's 'run' trick.
