It's going to be on every desktop before long anyway. ;)

The hacks we've done are very minor: we added a property that lets us
change where the lockfiles are stored, and we added a bunch of
Beagle-specific locking.  You're better off just grabbing dotlucene from
the source.  There is a diff of the changes we made to upstream sources
in beagle cvs though.
