  * milestone:  1.2.x => 1.2.4


Comment:

 Thinking about this some more, the issue here is caused by us going behind
 libtool's back, and copying _xapian.so from the .libs subdirectory.

 Perhaps we ought to take the libtool-supported route to this (which is
 what we currently do for Java) and use something like this:

 PYTHONPATH="xapian:$PYTHONPATH" ../libtool --mode=execute -dlopen
 _xapian.la python -c 'import _xapian'

 Does that work on OS X?

 Marking for 1.2.4 - if this approach works, we should apply it for the
 next release.
