At the moment our tests requires to be run inside a clean
dbus/xvfb session, which is not always available where the
check target is used (for example in distcheck). Also when
running distcheck in buildbot we don't really want to run
tests again, since we just run them in the check step.
We might revisit this in the future but using a non standard
target is the easiest solution for now.
We are running the existing test_mime.py. All the other tests which
are not unit tests but more examples of code one can run interactively
are moved to the example directory.
As we move to adding support for a second UI toolkit (GTK+ 3.x),
the sugar-activity binary used by all activities must become
backend-toolkit-independent. It would be wasteful to have two backend
toolkits loaded in memory, and in the GTK2/GTK3 case, it is impossible
(importing both results in an instant crash).
To achieve this, we split the existing sugar-toolkit activity/main.py:main()
functionality into two parts, moving it into the sugar-activity binary and
the Activity class as follows:
1. All toolkit-specific stuff is moved into the Activity class (i.e.
everything that interacts with GTK)
2. Everything that can be reasonably/easily moved into the Activity class
is also moved.
3. What remains is the stuff that is inherently involved with the
construction of the Activity object, not related to UI toolkits. This
is moved into the sugar-activity binary.
main.py is then removed from sugar-toolkit, and sugar-activity is moved
from sugar to sugar-toolkit-gtk3 in order to keep toolkit-related code
with the toolkit itself.
With this work done, the one remaining question is how to invoke the main
loop. An optional run_main_loop() method is added to the activity class,
for GTK2 this will run the GTK2 main loop, for GTK3 the GTK3 main loop will
be run, etc.

This makes sugarext accessible through introspection. It is used
from the shell (key grabber, sound volume management) and the
shell session management.
Making the sugarext introspectable was done following the
descriptions at: http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection#Using_GI

To use an m4 macro library you need three things:
* configure.ac mentions it (OK)
* autogen.sh mentions it (OK)
* Makefile.am mentions it (fixed by this patch)
Omission of the third part means that when you change configure.ac and run
make, ./configure is rebuilt without using the m4 directory, so autoconf
doesn't load python.m4 and the rebuild fails.
