-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
 As of swig 2.0.5 (current svn) that was used to build the lua binding
 lua/xapian_wrap.cc anyway, the option -nomoduleglobal is supported.
 It provides a way of creating modules that are compatible with the way lua
 5.1 includes modules using require. With lua 5.1 being stable
 for over 6 years and 5.2 being the last stable version there is not much
 point for 5.0 backwards compatibility.

 See swig tracker item 3394339
 (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3394339&group_id=1645&atid=301645)
 for the swig patch. Using this patch improves xapian lua binding
 compatibility for many current distributions (at least debian, ubuntu).

 Please find attached a patch against xapian-bindings-1.2.9 to apply the
 flag (patches Makefile.in for maintainer mode and xapian_wrap.cc for out
 of the box compilation).
