	[Changes contributed by Olly Betts]
	- Fixed exporting of DB_* constants.

	  library/include path 
	[Changes contributed by Olly Betts]
	- Wrapped Database::postlist_begin() and postlist_end()
	- Database::get_doccount(), get_avlength(), and get_termfreq()
	  now return values correctly

	- Wrapped all methods which WritableDatabase inherits from
	  Database
	- Fixed 2 warnings when building with GCC 3.3

	  set_weighting_scheme, which is passed a Weight object - a

	  in Enquire.pm with two separate methods (it was preventing
	  attempts to call unwrapped methods from throwing errors).
