Great. We have somewhat of a consensus, and I would have to do a lot of
work to not make it a framework. I'll request the move and everything that
is required. I'll also add a disclaimer that Baloo is effectively GPL.

I also started hacking on the Xapian replacement, and I have a student
experimenting with Lucene, so Baloo will eventually become LGPL.
