I think the best thing to do would be to compile PyDOLFIN agianst the
source tree. Other things have been higher on the priority list, but
now it's starting to become important when users are actually
installing it.

I don't think it's good to have PyDOLFIN as a separate package, since
it depends on the entire DOLFIN interface. So any interface change
aywhere could break PyDOLFIN. It's better to keep the same versioning
for both DOLFIN and PyDOLFIN.
