I think the following pieces are needed:

1) Enable synonyms when opening the database

2) enable synonyms in the query parser

These first two should be covered in the xapian docs

3) load the synonyms from a file.
   - this needs some infrastructure, and some decisions about how to
   handle such configuration info.

4) add the synonyms (using db.add_synonym)
