Properties are concatenated on indexing.  So, you might need a
separator string.  I thought that was configurable in swish, but it's
not.  You would need to change the source.  Well, I guess that is
someone configurable then.

in docpro.c:

    if ( add_a_space )
        p->propValue[p->propLen++] = ' ';

So maybe use a different character to show them.  One warning:  I'm
not sure if that might get called more than once for very long
properties.

So maybe modify those on indexing to something that's easy to split
on:

    content="[Smith A.]"

You just have to figure out how to split the property and then build
the links for each token.
