DESCRIPTION
    This set of extensions provides wrappers for most of the C functionalities in
    the AltaVista Search software development kit (SDK) except for a few functions 
    that did not make sense to export to perl.

    Two additional functions are used to ease the process of creating options and parameters: 
        avs_create_options
        avs_create_parameters

    The following functions are not implemented due to its complexity or they are
    unnecessary.

    <avs_add_ms_callback> UNIMPLEMENTED

    <avs_addrankterms> UNIMPLEMENTED

    <avs_count_docs> UNIMPLEMENTED

    <avs_count_docs_freelist> UNIMPLEMENTED

    <avs_errmsg_copy> UNIMPLEMENTED

    <avs_newdoc> UNIMPLEMENTED

    <avs_search_getdata_copy> UNIMPLEMENTED

    <avs_search_getdocid_copy> UNIMPLEMENTED

    <avs_search_getrelevance> RETURN ARGUMENT
