There's some preliminary work on geolocation in the "geolocation" branch 
in the xapian repository.  It's not currently functional, but I'm likely 
to be finishing it off in the coming weeks.  I used the HTM approach for 
partitioning the data, for efficiency (though there's rather more 
involved than just plugging an HTM library in).
