Installing generated C files on the system as part of spice-protocol, and
referring these from spice-server looks really ugly to me. Another option
would be to install the python code and the .proto file as part of
spice-protocol and to use these system-wide tools to generate the .c files
as we do already. This would only need minimal changes to the build system,
and we could still ship the generated files as part of each project
tarballs (a bit unusual, but why not).

Another option could be to combine common and spice-protocol, and to build
the generated files as part of this combination, but I don't know if it makes
sense at all.
