Proposal to back port some changes to 13.07

[Jacopo Cappellato-4]

Hi all,

I would like to backport to the new 13.07 branch some changes recently committed to the trunk (that are not bug fixes):

a) Revisions: 1518925 (and the related minor 1519999, 1520319, 1520321, 1520326, 1520509) Moved Lucene dependent code out of applications
b) Revision 1520510, 1520744: Simplified the layout of the main/framework/applications/specialpurpose build files

Main reasons for #a:
* if we backport, the users of 13.07, if interested in Lucene features, will have an easy way to deploy the specialpurpose/lucene app without conflicts with code embedded in applications
* in the trunk, the lucene code in specialpurpose has been upgraded to the latest release that includes bug fixes over the version currently used in 13.07

Main reasons for #b:
* the build files 13.07 have been modified in the branch in order to support the fact that in the branch we don't have most of the specialpurpose components; if we sync them with the simplified build files (without redundant targets) that are now in trunk it will be easier to maintain them in the branch when further changes will need to be backported

Any objections?

Thanks,

Jacopo

Generally speaking, I am in favor of backporting recent refactorings to
the most recent branch - mainly because it makes it easier to keep the
branch updated.

I agree. The release is not available yet to the general public and such
improvement are important enough to incorporate now (in stead of waiting
for the next opportune moment) and ease the future work.

I don't see a big risk at backporting those. Moreover Lucene changes includes fixes
