I've pushed two useful gems to gemcutter. xapian-full: This is based on the existing xapian gem, but compiles xapian-core as well as the bindings so it isn't dependent on the version of the system xapian. It's also a newer development version that includes the Chert backend.
ncursesw: This is a version of the ncurses gem modified to link against the ncursesw library so you get wide character support. It also includes the ruby 1.9.1 compile fixes. When we switch the default index to Xapian, for ease of installation I think we should add xapian-full as a gem dependency even though it may be redundant with a system xapian install. The only thing I worry about here is users lacking the full toolchain required to build Xapian. One potential problem with the ncursesw gem is that I've kept source compatibility with the old ncurses gem by not renaming the files/module. This means they interact badly if both are installed. We could change the Sup source to use new ncursesw names, but that's annoying and breaks people doing "git pull".
