Hi all

For 5.0 we've compiled-in Sphinx, since that's the only way we can  
actually get it in in that version.


For 5.1, I was going to compile all the engines straight into the  
binary, because the installation process might not be able to add rows  
to the plugin table. So this would to make actually using the plugins  
easier. However, it does produce a bit of binary code bloat and  
potentially RAM usage.

So, how about this:
We compile them in for the 5.1 bleeding edge version, but for the  
regular 5.1 build we make them as plugins that people still need to do  
the INSTALL PLUGIN ... bit for. Then for production users, they must  
consciously pick but it's still really easy to do and the plugin will  
always work since it's built in the exact version and way the main  
server was.

What do you reckon?


Cheers,
Arjen.
