For people like me, who use 'git clean -fxd'; it removes such
excludes. :(

How about either adding similar GNUmakefile, of modifying the Makefile
you added into the repo liike this"

The path used for the exports would be something like:
$(pwd | sed -e 's_/libvirt\(\.git\)\?/_/libvirt-python\1/')
but only if such path exists.  There would be nothing changed for
those who do not have such paths.  It could be also hidden under some
other make command (e.g. make devel).

Does that make sense or is it not worth trying to do that at all?

IMHO this GNUmakefile Eric suggests is just duplicating what the
'run' script already does. eg if you have libvirt & libvirt-python
checked out at the same place, you can just do '../libvirt/run make'
or '../libvirt run python setup.py build'


Yep, you can, but if you don't (and have some subdirs for example),
than might help, someone.  I'm doing "~lv/run make", so that was not
for me anyway ;)
