Why not just use the C port of Lucene and forget the Delphi...
I will admit, one of my motivations for porting Lucene to C is that it's considerably simpler to call into a C library from various other languages than it is to reimplement the whole library in your language of choice. Eventually I hope to see various wrappers on top of Lucene4c that allow it to be used from Ruby, Perl, Python, etc.
Of course, there's also the 'compile it with gcj and then wrap that' approach that seems reasonably popular these days. I prefer the C approach because actually getting gcj to work has always been a problem when I've tried, but that does have the distinct advantage that you don't have to wait for the C implementation to be finished, the Java one works now.
In any event, I'd welcome anyone looking at wrapping the C API to ask any questions that come up on the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list, I'd be more than happy to help with such efforts.
