Yes, trunk is now heading for a new development series (1.3.x) and as
part of that we've dropped the XS Search::Xapian from it in favour of
the SWIG generated version.  This seems a good time to push for a
migration, and the XS version would have needed work for changes in
xapian-core (removal of some deprecated features).

So now is a good time to test the SWIG version and report issues.  This
has the known issues:

I just added a couple of testcases to t/termgenerator.t which still
passes - these work for me:

$termgen->index_text('foo bar baz foo', 4);
$termgen->index_text_without_positions('baz zoo', 42);

What exactly are you passing for $text and $weight?
