I see your point. Let's say this is what would be needing for distributing
it.

In this case, you can do much simpler. Do a simple concatenation and change
the number of features. For outsiders who will read this: In the current
version of the viper query engine in the GIFT, we are using
numberOfFeatures: integer
featureId: integer
termFrequency: float
As a file format. the featureID/termFrequency pair is repeated
numberOfFeatures times.
So if you want to do a quick hack for adding in your own features:
change numberOfFeatures and simply add your own features in the end.
To do such a concatenation should be *very* short in perl. I think I send it
here in one previous post. If not it was posted to our internal group list,
and I repost it here on request.

I see. Yes, this works. And if you want to be really safe, you should add
some items (with the new feature group number) to the
InvertedFileFeatureDescription.db file.

I see, I hope this works out :-) and you get this mail in time.

It is, but it is strongly discouraged by the FSF. Apparently in the past
there have been some accidental postings of personal flames to the lists or
something like that.
