Sure.
The python extensions are not built via make, but with help of a python
tool. Up to now no depends have been defined, which will lead to possible
problems: changing a xen library which is used by the python extensions does
not necessarily result in rebuilding the extensions.

My patch defines the libraries used by the extensions as dependencies.
Changing a library will result in a rebuild of the using extensions.
