I'd have thought to get it started you'd just make the existing functions that omindex uses internally available externally via the library, so it's a helper function which, given a file and options, returns a Xapian::Document that you can write into the database. The current model for Xapian is that way round, rather than WritableDatabase making and inserting a Document in one go.
