I have a suspicion there was a discussion on the list a little while 
back about being able to perform this operation via _bulk_docs, although 
I don't know where off the top of my head, and I have no idea whether 
that was veto'd or not as I think there were a few issues with making it 
play nice with the current functionality.

If _bulk_docs can be made to work with fetching records as well as 
updating them, I think that may be the neater way to go. On the other 
hand, if it can't, then the patch you've posted looks good enough to me, 
although I'm hardly an authority :)
