Comment (by barry):

 Yeah, OpenSUSE really should deprecate that.  It's completely non-standard
 and now there *is* a standard way of doing it.  But that's not Xapian's
 problem. ;)

 I'm a little confused about comment 77, when you say "If swig fails to
 detect python3 correctly, that shouldn't be a problem for us - it should
 just mean that if you tried to run SWIG's testsuite, it wouldn't run
 Python3 tests. The built SWIG should still support generating wrappers for
 Python3."

 When I checked out from svn, it grabbed swig's git and built that, even
 though I have swig 2.0.10 installed on my system.  Maybe bootstrap didn't
 find it or doesn't look for it.  I'll have to take a closer look at how
 Xapian builds from svn to see if it's possible to use system swig instead
 (which I'd think would DTRT, but haven't checked yet).

 Agreed about the packaging comments.  Since you're the maintainer in
 Debian, I'd love to work with you on getting a snapshot of 1.3.2 into
 Ubuntu for software-center.  Is the packaging you mention in the Vcs-Svn
 for xapian-core, or somewhere else?
