Comment(by ijansch):

 That's actually an interesting discussion. I use xapian from a php
 programmer's point of view. That Xapian uses a tool to develop the php
 extension is a good thing, but I'm sure Swig supports some kind of
 function name translation/prefixing. From a programmer's point of view
 though, consistency in naming is more important than the underlying tools
 used.

 As an example, see the ones in PECL, e.g. for Swish and Sphynx:

 http://pecl.php.net/packages.php?catpid=57&catname=Search+Engine

 Consistency would greatly help adoption in the php community (as would a
 pecl extension but that's a different story).
