Summary:                    pysvn and/or pythonsvn not functional
Description: 
In the Solaris 9 build, the pysvn and pythonsvn do not have core.py with
them.  This makes the SVN python libs useless.  The command I am trying to
get working is: 

>>> from svn import core
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/svn/core.py", line 19, in
<module>
  File "/opt/csw/lib/python/site-packages/libsvn/core.py", line 7, in
<module>
ImportError: No module named _core

I looked at the Debian package, and the build recipe is really complex,
applying a lot of customization. Not sure what to make of it, is it because
of insufficient communication between Subversion developers and Debian
packagers? I wouldn't like our build recipe to be as complex.

I looked at our recipe and I don't have a quick fix for it right now,
although it could be as simple as changing one installation directory.

What I'm not sure about is why we change libdir to /opt/csw/lib/svn. Why
make it so general?
