perhaps -- see the discussion on:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3795

This will involve a few steps before it is actually integrated with
the lucene project -- and then a few more to be usable from solr

ya they are published -- you just have to specify where you want to
pull them from.  If you use the 'updateLucene' profile, it will pull
them from:  https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/snapshots/

use:  mvn clean install -P updateLucene

I don't know of anything else -- and note that polygon stuff has a
ways to go before it is generally ready for prime-time.
