Okay, this probably won't work, but see what happens if you unpack
<http://tartarus.org/james/xapian-python-bindings-1.0.5-bin.tar.gz>
somewhere and add it to PYTHONPATH. If that *does* work, (a) I'll be
somewhat impressed, (b) it's a problem with the Solaris 11 build
system *only*, rather than Sol11 itself.

You may have to delete the .pyc and .pyo files, and you'll need to
have installed the dynamic Xapian into your library path (or in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

However it probably won't work, because there's all sorts of reasons
why this might go wrong (linkage, primarily).
