Daniel P. Berrange 8665f85523 Quieten build & ensure API build scripts exit with non-zero status
The current API build scripts will continue and exit with a zero
status even if they find problems. This has been the cause of many
build problems, or hidden build errors, in the past. Change the
scripts so they always exit with a non-zero status for any problems
they do not understand. Also turn off all debug output by default
so they respect $(AM_V_GEN)

* docs/Makefile.am: Use $(AM_V_GEN) for API/HTML scripts
* docs/apibuild.py, python/generator.py: Exit with non-zero status
  if problems are found. Also be silent, not outputting any debug
  messages.
* src/Makefile.am: Use $(AM_V_GEN) for ESX generator
* python/Makefile.am: Tweak rule

    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
