I've already done this - Gmane is using a patched version of the
QueryParser on utf-8 data (without any stemming).

As I've said before, anyone who wants the patch is welcome to it.  I
can't just apply it to SVN as is though as it'll break anyone using
iso-8859-1 queries or stemming.  It also currently adds a dependency on
glib which is probably something we don't want to do.
