ian-on-ubuntu-12-04

and now have Xapian running on Ubuntu 12.04. Many thanks.

This doesn't seem to work at the moment (checked against Ubuntu 12.04 here),
because the PHP smoketest won't run in a VPATH build (checked using the
1.2.10 bindings without the debian patches or build system). I think in
php/Makefile.am the TESTS_ENVIRONMENT needs `$(srcdir)` in the `-d
include_path=php5` stanza.

As a short-term fix, if you do the following before the `debuild` line, it
seems to build okay:

sed -i 's/include_path=php5$/include_path=$(srcdir)\/php5/' php/Makefile.in
dpkg-source --commit

(give it a patch name of something like fix-php-buildtests, then just save
the file it prompts you to edit)
