Opened a pull request: https://github.com/xapian/xapian/pull/115

I have made quite of changes since those previous commits. Like I mentioned
in previous email,
I tried using another constructor to pass parameters s and delta that
control the weights assigned
by Piv+ normalization. That prevented issues faced earlier. All previous
tests pass without any serialisation
errors and I've added new tests as well; all passing. Will try to improve
test coverage further now.

Thanks,
Vivek
