Hi All

Is there any reason why someone could not build a regular
PHP extension 
(not using SWIG) for Xapian?
Same as mnoGoSearch has.

The extension itself would be released under the PHP
license.

Is there anything on either side of the pond that would
prevent this 
from being legal?

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.
