QM can provide an IDL interface to get the list of file IDs from file
bundle IDs. File bundle ID is only internal to QM, and once the query is
deleted or finished, file bundle ID may or may not exist anymore because
of that reason, so  keeping a file bundle ID around longer than the life
of the query would not  be a good idea.....
I'll make an interface if Arie agrees on this idea...
Thanks.
