Desperate times call for desperate measures. :-)

I think the problem I worked around is that the libtool is not finding the
-lsvn_swig_py during the (re?)link and so it doesn't create the
appropriate _*.so file but the _*.soU files are there. The correct answer
is to figure out why the libtool can't relink it correctly. What I did
was just a desparate hack to try to get something to work without really
understanding the basis for the problem.

Short answer: No, I don't have any ideas other than fixing the libtool or
what it operates on.

I think if the libtool would correctly link it then the DESTDIR would work
fine (it does on RHEL-4).
