Matthias Bolte d0857c0132 Fix install location for Python bindings
Commit 66137344fe changed the Python detection
mechanism in configure to use AM_PATH_PYTHON. This results in a changed
install location for the Python bindings, at least on Fedora 12 64bit systems.

Before this commit libvirt.py and libvirtmod.so were installed to

  /usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages

After this commit they are installed to

  /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages

Mixed Python packages (containing *.py and *.so files) should be installed to
the pyexecdir directory detected by AM_PATH_PYTHON.

This restores the install location from before the AM_PATH_PYTHON commit.

* configure.in: remove unnecessary pythondir export
* python/Makefile.am: switch from pythondir to pyexecdir

    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
