Because C# doesn't support functions outside a class, they get wrapped
as static methods of a class with the same name as the namespace.  So
Xapian is a namespace and Xapian.Xapian a class which only has static
methods.

But I've just worked out I can lie to SWIG in xapian.i and pretend that
InMemory is a class with a private ctor and dtor, and then it'll wrap
Xapian::InMemory::open() as Xapian.InMemory.open(), which seems much
better.
