Anyway:
The bottom line here is that direct connection of NiMh batteries to a solar panel could get exciting, in a bad way. The absolute gold standard is to use the panel to power some kind of charging circuit.
An LM317 as a constant current source would work, albeit not very efficiently. There are many single-chip solutions available, for example from Maxim, who has a policy of handing out samples quite freely, so if you need just one....
