Thanks, it looks like from the libvirt side, we are only going to be
able to provide a standalone  libvirt-python on PyPI that works
back to version 0.9.11.  Prior to 0.9.11 libvirt did not install its
API description, which is a pre-requisite for the python bindings
to build.

Fortunately 0.9.11 lines up with all the distros we've got listed
so far.
