Just to be clear, no donation was ever made.  You did some work that you put up 
under your own server, etc.  I personally didn't see it as something you were 
donating.  If that's not the case, please put up a patch.

In theory, I am, but in reality, it just doesn't seem to have the legs to 
actually do the work in the project to put together the collections, etc.  The 
work done by Robert so far should probably just be folded into Lucene's 
benchmark capabilities.
