Subject: Re: Using CLucene

I am looking to do the same thing, but fwiw, calling C (haven't tried 
C++) from ruby is pretty straightforward via ruby/dl. Not sure how 
straightforward CLucene's api is for this, though.

I won't have a chance to hack around before I leave on vacation later 
this week, but once I hack around a bit will post my results.
