Thank you for the offer, I'll put together a proposal sometime this week
and send it in. In the past various different people have expressed
interest in a C version of Lucene, hopefully we can get some of them
involved more directly once it's in the incubator.

I agree, cross language compatibility tests would be nice to have.
Additionally it would be good to work on updating the disk format
documentation, I've found several cases where the docs are quite out of
date compared to the current code. It's hard to expect the various
different ports to maintain compatibility when the formats are only
documented in code.
