Can we do anything to be more sure that all the destructors are being 
called?

Olly, I'm still concerned about the case where wrapped objects are 
referenced by other wrapped objects (meaning at the c++ xapian level)

I tried to make swig-php be able to call destructors, or not, depending 
on whether or not we constructed or merely wrapped objects, I hope I got 
this right, but I realise that sometimes even though we created the 
object it may get referenced from another object, and I recall that 
xapian uses smart reference counting pointers.

Thus, if the wilful destructor stage is working in shutdown, some 
objects might get twice destroyed, (and he we see how I've forgotten so 
much) unless php-swig's wilful destructor stage only releases a ref 
count after all.
