 Since the switch to a more recent SWIG, the method the shadow wrapper uses
 to import the wrapper (_xapian.so or similar) has changed for python >=
 2.7.0 (which is basically everything in common use these days). SWIG does
 not support <package>/__init__.py as the shadow wrapper.

 Right now it's unclear what the best solution is.
