That's OK - just wanted to check I hadn't missed something.

I've made the changes - we now install in /usr/lib/xapian0.8.3 if Tcl is
/usr/lib/tcl8.4 and xapian is version 0.8.3.  We also use TCL_STUBS and
require Tcl 8.1 or newer.

And I've knocked together simpleindex.tcl, though it currently suffers
from the problem with destructors not being called.

Cheers,
    Olly
