My (somewhat hazy) understanding is that Perl 6 is intended to have a
cleaner native extension API, but with a compatibility wrapper to allow
XS modules to work.

I don't think Search::Xapian does anything particularly weird with XS
- the only unusual aspect I'm aware of is using C++ with XS - so
hopefully it won't require much effort to get it to work with Perl 6.
