We stopped trying to make libxf86config a shared library around 1.6~1.7
since things were going weird on all our non-x86 arches. We also got rid
of pyxf86config in the process since it was the only known user of the lib.

Since we only used pyxf86config to provide a scripted transition from
xorg.conf to HAL fdi, now that we're back to xorg.conf, pyxf86config is
useless (at least for us). I'd be interested in knowing what RH uses
pyxf86config for these days.

Cheers,
