Has anyone used rails + sphinx + sqlite3?

I was looking at thinking-sphinx rails plugin which looked simple to deploy
but ran into several issues
* sphinx doesn't support sqlite3
* thinking-sphinx doesn't support sqlite3

John Aughey has clones of both projects on github with changes that go some
way to implementing this [1][2] but I'm not sure I'd be comfortable using in
production yet.  I haven't tested it out either because I initially
installed the last stable release 0.9.8 of sphinx [1].  I think there has
been some work and mention of sqlite3 on the sphinx forums but it's hard to
get a clear picture of what's going on because I can't find the sphinx
repository - it seems to be private.

I'm new to this game but I'm thinking, short of migrating to postgres (which
is not a bad thing but a hassle), I have to index a sphinx docset xml
document  generated from sqlite3 instead and use the riddle client api.  My
requirements are very modest.

[1] for sphinx, he has made changes to rc1 0.9.9 for sqlite3.-
http://github.com/aughey/sphinx-sqlite3/tree/master
[2] the sqlite3 changes have not been pulled into freelancing-god's
thinking-sphinx version (AFAICT!)
