Hrmm, I remember now.  That documentation states:

"MySQL does not support full-text indexing natively."

Which is untrue.  MySQL does indeed have full-text indexing, and the
most recent version has full-text indexing with InnoDB tables.  Is
there any hope for taking advantage of the FTS built-in to MySQL?  My
MySQL server does a *lot* more than just RT, and re-compiling the
whole thing with an add-on that gets used by exactly one database (out
of, let's say, 400 databases) seems sub-optimal.
