 Now that #385 is fixed, xapian-core can be built with 64-bit document ids,
 but the current disk-based backends use encodings which don't allow
 document ids >= 2**32.  The API support is still very useful, as it means
 you can search multiple database together without exhausting the document
 id space, but it ought to be possible to do this within a single database
 too.

 Marking as 1.3.x and glass, at least for now, as it's probably just a
 simple encoding tweak in a small number of places.
