xappy-0.5 works with xapian 1.0.7, but not all features are available, 
as you have observed.  To use the FACET field action, you will need to 
use a xapian snapshot, which can be obtained by running the 
"libs/get_xapian.py" script, and compiling the xapian-core and 
xapian-bindings packages which this will download.
