That does sound a little easier, although if i'm going to bite the bullet
might as well go all the way. I'll be creating this repo tomorrow and
getting everything put together. Should be relatively easy i think,
although it means we're on the hook for pushing future changes and making
sure they are 5.5 compatible.

It seems i could create the repo as either of these:
* mediawiki/vendor/elastica?
* mediawiki/extensions/Elastica/elastica

Will probably do the first, unless someone has a good reason not to.
