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.
