Hmm. I might see if I can get someone over here excited about Xapian
(even if just by attrition :-) who could put some time into doing
this. (OTOH they'd probably want to spend their time doing the arguably
more useful Managed C++ wrapper that would make Xapian available to
all .Net languages. But I might find someone weird enough.)
