Hi,

I have made the changes as recommended, adding a test case
multiview.js and also adding the userCtx to open the db.

I have also forked geocouch and this is available here

http://github.com/normanb/couchdb

./bootstrap
./configure
make dev
utils/run

should do it and then the simple test case is available in Futon.

The test case multiview.js takes two views which emit docs which run
from 0 .. 100, view 1 emits those documents with ids which are
multiples of 3, view 2 emits those which are multiples of 4. The
_multiview request is the intersection of view 1 and view 2 resulting
those documents whose ids are multiples of 12.

Any comments appreciated, particular concerning the following;

 1) in the module multiview, is there a quicker way to find the counts
 from startkey to endkey rather than iterating?
 2) In the module couch_query_ring is there a quicker way to test for
 inclusion rather than iterating?

Many thanks,

Norman
