 Hi, I've just taken over maintenance of xapian in !MacPorts, and I've
 noticed that the Java portion of xapian-bindings installs the file
 libxapian_jni.jnilib into a preposterous location:

 {{{
 $ port contents xapian-bindings-java
 Port xapian-bindings-java contains:
   /opt/local/share/doc/xapian-bindings/java/examples/SimpleIndex.java
   /opt/local/share/doc/xapian-bindings/java/examples/SimpleSearch.java
   /opt/local/share/doc/xapian-bindings/java/index.html
   /opt/local/var/macports/build/_Users_rschmidt_macports_macports-ports-
 svn-trunk-new_devel_xapian-core/xapian-bindings-java/work/xapian-
 bindings-1.4.9/java/built/libxapian_jni.jnilib
 }}}

 !MacPorts extracts and builds software in a temporary work directory which
 is deleted after installation. Note that libxapian_jni.jnilib was
 "installed" under the temporary work directory.

 This is certainly happening in part because the file java/Makefile.am
 says:

 {{{
 jnidir = `pwd`/built
 }}}

 Unfortunately I'm not familiar with Java. I don't know how a Java user
 would use this jnilib file or where it should actually be installed to.
