[Xapian-discuss] Omega example

[Jim Lynch]

Thanks for that.  I was pressed for time, so I didn't do it myself.  
I'll do better in the future.  Yes, I agree about not using root.  I'll 
see if I can improve that part.  Being a bit lazy, I didn't want to go 
through all the "be sure this file/directory is owned by xxx and 
readable by all" gyrations, that probably would have only confused 50% 
of the users.  :(

Cheers,
Jim.
