I got something working for this.

I pushed it here:

    lp:~knielsen/maria/5.2-sphinxse

It still have a few rough edges that I want to polish, but now I can do this:

  export SPHINXSEARCH_INDEXER=/home/knielsen/devel/maria/sphinxsearch/bin/indexer
  export SPHINXSEARCH_SEARCHD=/home/knielsen/devel/maria/sphinxsearch/bin/searchd
  ./mtr sphinx.sphinx

To run this test case:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
--source include/have_sphinx.inc
--source include/have_sphinxse.inc

--replace_result $SPHINXSEARCH_PORT SPHINXSEARCH_PORT
eval create table ts ( id int unsigned not null, w int not null, q varchar(255) not null, index(q) ) engine=sphinx connection="sphinx://127.0.0.1:$SPHINXSEARCH_PORT/*";
select * from ts where q='test';
drop table ts;
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope this sounds reasonable, I wanted to give you the chance to see more
concretely what I had in mind.

Well, .conf must be generated from a template due to allocation of ports etc.

But I have to admit I didn't even think of bundling this stuff, just blindly
ran `indexer test1`. I'm too tired now to think clearly what's best right now ;-)
Feel free to come with suggestions.
