I think it is as simple as 'modifying' FuzzyQuery.java, check a 'environment variable', and then either instantiate a FuzzTermEnum(), or a SpecialFuzzyTermEnum().
All of the logic of 'FuzzyTerm' is contained in FuzzyTermEnum.java. If it is nothing more than a different difference calculation, then just check the environment variable in FuzzTermEnum.java, and call the appropriate distance calculation routine. If you create a new 'Query' class, then you have to modify the expression language to add a new 'term' character, which could get messy eventually (run out of characters). The only issue with the current FuzzyTerm implementation is that is requires a full linear search of all of the terms in index.

You will have to write your own Query (probably subclass MultiTermQuery) to do this. The FuzzyQuery calculations are buried deep and not customizable (at least not currently).
