There's the Xapian::Stopper class which Xapian::QueryParser uses.  But
that's just there as a way of passing a stopping algorithm to the
QueryParser.

If you're stopping at index time it's simplest to just store the list in
a std::set (or if you're using Xapian from another language, whatever
the appropriate data structure is in that language - e.g. you'd use a
hash in Perl).
