Once http://svn.xapian.org/trunk/xapian-bindings/php/ is generated, it
creates php_xapian.h and xapian_wrap.cc, which are the PHP Xapian
extension. I think it could never be distributed with PHP itself
because it is governed under the GNU license, which they aren't overly
fond of given it's viral nature.
