Great.

As documented here (and for the reasons documented) xapian-core
deliberately makes fairly limited promises about thread safety:

http://www.xapian.org/docs/overview.html

Essentially, Xapian works in a threaded environment, but you can't share
objects between threads without policing access with a mutex yourself.

I'll add the CLONE_SKIP subs when I have a spare moment.
