I have a general question about forks, specifically the YTEX branch that Vijay 
mentions.
If I wanted to implement just the sentence splitter from YTEX into a currently 
existing 3.1 install, how would I do that? Is it possible? Or do I have to 
switch over completely to run from YTEX branch?

The issue is indeed the sentence splitter - negation is limited to words within 
the sentence, and if newlines are considered sentence boundaries, it doesn't 
work properly (splitting on newlines breaks many other things as well).  The 
YTEX branch includes a sentence splitter that does not automatically split 
sentences on newlines.
