This still leaves a small not 100% clean bit, it's the fact that
stuff from spice-common has to be used to generate
spice-protocol/spice/enums.h. This is done rarely enough that it's no big
deal to do it by hand, but it's worth mentioning.

While I agree that it's much better if spice-common becomes a "libspice",
short term it might be easier to just have a git submodule (probably only
some minor changes are needed). Then as as a second step it can be turned
into a shared library once everything is split to our liking. But either
way works for me.
