This may be too little too late, but I have time to work on the bitmap
index patch and fix the API issues. I'm familiar with the index am API
and I can see the issues with the patch as it stands.

If it's definitely too late for 8.2, I'd like to get it into CVS as soon
as possible after the 8.2 release. Jie and/or Gavin, could you send the
latest version of the patch to the list in any case? Do you want help
with the patch, or would I be stepping on your toes?
