Note that if you use the import API mxDateTime_ImportModuleAndAPI() 
from mxDateTime.h it will find the package all by itself -- you should 
never import the C extension mxDateTime directly, please always use 
import mx.DateTime.

The package exports a Python C object which you can use to access
the low-level C API, all of whcih is defined in mxDateTime.h.

Background: I believe that trying to import the .so directly is
the source of the problems which "kromag" is seeing here.
