This is one thing where we probably need to invest some resources, but
I'm not sure if now is the right time. The biggest issue here is
certainly the deprecation of hash_map in anticipation of the upcoming
C++0x standard. There is already a central place where we could deal
with that (base/hash_map.h), but as long as the current GCC
implementation of C++0x is not ready for production, it's probably
better to wait.

I'll add that then.

Hm ... this is a little odd, as the Python modules should be installed
in the site-packages of your actual Python installation. Then they are
found without any additional help of the user. I assume your Python
installation is in /usr, not in /usr/local? Sounds like a problem with
the build system, if it does not detect this correctly. You're using
cmake, right?

It certainly does. The more different systems we can test on now, the
more painless installation will be for future users.

Great. If there are questions, please let me know.
