Possibly something like /usr/lib/xen/python/... would be more in
keeping with where we install other stuff from dist.

Possibly the install target should place the files in the same place,
rather than in the Python installation's default site-package
directory. 

This is very easy to change if we want to make the two targets install
to the same directory path.
