Re: [libvirt] [libvirt-python PATCH] setup: Make libvirt API XML path configurable

Adding a support for LIBVIRT_API_PATH evironment variable, which can control where the script should look for the 'libvirt-api.xml' file. This allows building libvirt-python against different libvirt than the one installed in the system. This may be used for example in autotest or by packagers without the need to install libvirt into the system.
