BTW vacuuming seems quite broken as it is:

hlinnaka@heikkilaptop:~/pgsql.bitmap$ ~/pgsql.bitmap/bin/psql -a
postgres < vacuumtest.sql
drop table if exists test;
DROP TABLE
create table test (key int);
CREATE TABLE
create index test_bm on test using bitmap (key);
CREATE INDEX
insert into test values (1);
INSERT 0 1
delete from test;
DELETE 1
vacuum test;
VACUUM
insert into test values (2);
INSERT 0 1
select * from test where key = 1;
  key
-----
    2
(1 row)
