IMHO trunk was quite usable late 2008 for me, but the changes were too
much for me to keep up with at the time, and eventually stopped since
parts of what I wanted to extend had all the right interface ... until
hitting the not-done-yets .

If utf8 is a big concern you might cheat with a modified
analyzer/encoding in the index and fetch your real utf8 data from
_other_ storage via document key field ? or store encoded in an
unanalyzed field then decode on fetch.
