Description
Alexandre Gauthier has suggested we change the namespace for the Python bindings, as this fixes an issue with Windows installations where Python extensions should be in a subdir of site-packages (including any dependent DLLs). His reasoning is here: http://www.raptorized.com/xapian-python-win32/ Richard suggests 'xapian' not 'libxapian' as the subdir name.
Further discussion on #xapian-devel suggested use of the .pth system for Python, and some wider issues about namespaces and packaging for other bindings.
