Aha!  Thank you.  Much more success.  I've tried this.

%name(QueryCombine) Xapian::Query::Query(Xapian::Query::Query::op op_,
%const Xapian::Query::Query & left, const Xapian::Query::Query &
%right);

It makes a PHP function called query_querycombine.  Unfortunately,
the function takes a spurious extra Query argument as its first
parameter.  SWIG thinks it is a member function, rather than a
constructor.

$query = query_querycombine($querydummy, Query_OP_AND, $query1, $query2); 

It works though!

Anything particular I can do to help?  I have to hack /something/ to
get things working over the next week, and I may as well hack even
a small thing in the format you expect.  Or else I'll make do with
query_querycombine above ;)
