I will add the module into CVS. It doesn't get added by default, you
need in interchange.cfg:

Require module Vend::Swish
AddDirective Swish hash
Variable swish Vend::Swish

There are a number of features I would like to add, and it would
be helpful if someone would examine the Swish docs and help me determine
which are important. For instance, you can add fields with the PropertyName
index directive, and we can access those; and you can even put them into Vend::Swish.
But it would be nice to have some handling to add those fields without having
to do both:

	rf=code score title url mod_date filesize propertyname1 propertyname2
	fn=code score title url mod_date filesize propertyname1 propertyname2
