Once http://svn.xapian.org/trunk/xapian-bindings/php/ is generated, it 
creates php_xapian.h and xapian_wrap.cc, which are the PHP Xapian 
extension.  I think it could never be distributed with PHP itself 
because it is governed under the GNU license, which they aren't overly 
fond of given it's viral nature.
