[CWB] CQPweb index files

[Stephanie Evert]

Hi Simon,

you need to keep both corpora: <corpus> is the actual corpus that you've pre-indexed with CWB, and <corpus>__freq is a database with per-text frequency information. CQPweb stores the data as a CWB corpus because at the time when CQPweb was developed, MySQL was so horribly slow in aggregating large frequency tables that we got a lot better performance by abusing CWB as a sort-of relational database.

Best,
Steph
