ruby bindings

Hello. I've improved the Xapian Ruby bindings by adding
aliasing a few
methods and making the code and examples more in line with
Ruby
conventions. I also wrote a simple script to generate a
skeleton so
that rdoc can automatically document some of the SWIG code
to a
limited extent. I used a template I find somewhat nicer than
the
default, but if you don't like it, it can easily be changed.
The
generated html documentation is included. There is a
rakefile for
generating the documentation, which most Ruby programmers
would use,
although I provided the identical command in
generate_rdocs.sh. Also
attached, I ported Enrico Zini's apt-xapian-index to Ruby
from Python.
It looks like he hasn't gotten around to adding that to the
Debian SVN
repository, so I've provided it here that it might also be
used as
examples. I hope to use Xapian more in the future, thank you
for
providing an excellent application.

Excellent.  I don't speak ruby fluently, so most of the
oddness is
probably my fault.

Can you supply a patch for the changed files?  It's rather
fiddly to
reconstruct one from the list of filenames and SVN revisions
(and I
don't know which branch to look at either).  Just "svn
diff" in a
modified SVN checkout will do.

Cheers,
    Olly
