You should now use "new XapianDatabase" instead of "new_database".

You should also now use "new XapianDatabase" for PHP5.  Currently this
is implemented as a PHP5 class whose methods call the flat function
interface so the old functions are still there in this case.  But they
are essentially an implementation detail now.
