The patch allows you to provide a source of xapian doc ids from an  
external source, in my case I use a SQL database, and make it part of  
a query's so that the documents returned will be required to be a  
member of that source.  It allows you to search a subset of a xapian  
database pretty easily.

If you still have questions I'd be glad to answer them.
