so Diego, if your goal (with the reverted change) was more than to
avoid seemingly-unnecessary work, please tell us what it was.
Well, to put it simply: you *cannot* both have the Python extension
*and* disable shared libraries.
--disable-shared tells libtool not to build any kind of shared object
for the project; Python extensions are shared objects _only_.
While you could avoid building libvirt.so (and just have libvirt.a) you
cannot get Python extensions by just building libvirtmod.a.
So basically --disable-shared --with-python would just produce an
unusable output without my change, and produce a proper error condition
with.
