[Dovecot] clucene build warnings?

[Charles Marcus]

Ok, just to wrap up this thread for anyone who cares, I just got a reply 
from the clucene dev (in response to my asking him about the possible 
merger of clucene and lucene++) after he said he had fixed this bug and 
the next version would contain the fix:

"More or less it's true. About a year ago we started to make Lucene++ to 
the new CLucene version, as Lucene++ (also written in C++) is a port of 
a newer Apache Lucene version (written in Java) as the one CLucene is a 
port of. But we did not want to simply merge them, but to adapt Lucene++ 
to the "design principles" of CLucene. E.g., Lucene++ makes heavy use of 
shared pointers. And in CLucene we wanted to reduce this usage in favor 
of performance. But this not finished and I cannot say when it will 
finished. Nevertheless, the new version of CLucene (if any) will be also 
C++ and not Java. Best regards, Veit"
