Comment (by richard):

 I wasn't actually advocating closing, I was trying to get more information
 to work out if this is something we should be changing.  We don't want
 users to have to hack the build system to use Xapian...

 The need to support python 2 and 3 is interesting; I think that would make
 it harder (or impossible) for vim to link the necessary symbols in itself,
 so its more reasonable that we should be linking to libpython ourself.

 What platform are you on?  We actually already link to libpython on
 windows.
