Sounds good. The real issue is making it easy to use custom stop lists, 
not making Lucene compatible with today's flavor of some other search 
engine. Besides, isn't there already a constructor that takes an array 
of stop words? File reading stuff would be good, but I don't think we 
have to have it before the release. Is that too conservative? :)
