xapi.py isn't installed on any system and only exists in the Xend dev
tree for me to test the Xen API support in Xend.

The default installation root is /usr/lib/python for the vanilla xen
python tools.

Yes, I agree it is a concern that Xend/Xm puts everything
in /usr/lib/python, but that is a whole separate thread. I have a patch
locally that fixes this behaviour along with install.sh fixes it, if
that is what people are concerned about.

Cheers,

Alastair
