Yeah, sorry.

I think I screwed my github when the upstream switched layouts (IIRC  
it was a full svn copy then moved to trunk). My git-fu is git-fucked.  
I've recently locally cloned from halorgium in preparation for redoing  
the filename mods. At least the external filename v1 stuff is there.

I think the patch for external erlang modules has been lost. In any  
case, it's trivial, involving nothing more than changes to bin/ 
couchdb.tpl.in to allow a plugins directory, and add each plugin to  
the erlang load path and read it's .ini file. I custom built my  
plugin, so I didn't need to mod the build system.

The ruby source and subsequent discussion for the external indexer was  
posted to couchdb-user on 21 December 2008 in a thread called  
'couchdb' (!) started by Tim Parkin.
