Comment:

 Even further discussion on IRC has lead us to think that .pth system is
 not quite as good as simply putting the .py and .so (on unix) or .dll (on
 windows) files in a subdirectory called "xapian", and renaming xapian.py
 to __init__.py    This option makes the xapian directory into a package,
 and provides the best encapsulation and is nicer in future if we want to
 shove any additional "pythonic" wrappers into the distribution.  I'll
 change the SVN HEAD autoconf system to do this shortly; we should change
 the nmake system to do similarly.
