Comment(by olly):

 Aside from the ugliness, there's one flaw I can see with the patch - just
 because {{{../../xapian-core/.libs}}} exists doesn't mean that it's what
 we're currently trying to build against - I could check out an SVN tree,
 build it, make distclean in the bindings, and rebuild then against a
 different xapian-core.

 That's clearly less bad than quietly using a library installed under /usr,
 but if DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH is meaningful on other platforms, we should
 narrow this hack to only take effect on Mac OS X.  Looking at libtool.m4,
 libtool only tries to use DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH on darwin or rhapsody, so
 we're probably OK.

 Even if we go with this hack for now, we should try to get libtool fixed
 too.
