Yes, and the database side of it isn't too hard--instead of keeping a
backlink count, we keep a list of backlinks (as DocIDs).

Also, are there fields in the DocumentRef that we might want to remove?
I have to check up on DocAccessed, and I don't think DocImageSize is fully
used. Descriptions are useful from a search precision standpoint, but do
we want to store them all (how many people use the $DESCRIPTION variable)?

I guess my point is that we probably want to add a field or two to that
list. While we're at it we might want to consider if there's a field we
might want to remove.
