I can't answer for Nathan, and I haven't bothered with anything for
the iPhone in quite some time (I found their GUI creator kit to be
completely a black art, and their idea of a "delegator" didn't seem to
match up with my experience of event listeners).  However, I do have
some experience with bending configuration utilities into submission.

CLucene, if I'm not mistaken, defaults its build system to CMake.
Here you're in luck, because CMake is actually comprehensible to the
uninitiated, while autotools has a very steep learning curve.  You
might just want to try building a version of the CLucene library for
iPhone and link that into your SWORD build.

This link http://stackoverflow.com/questions/794137/how-to-set-up-cmake-to-build-a-library-for-the-iphone
seems to have some helpful hints, including a promise of a full How-To
guide at the bottom.  Seeing as you managed to build SWORD for the arm
processor, I'm guessing you have most of the inside details needed.  A
possibly more up-to-date version of the mentioned guide for 3.0 and
3.1 also appears here
http://sites.google.com/site/michaelsafyan/coding/articles/iphone/cross-compiling-for-the-iphone-using-cmake.

Best of luck, I hope to see your app in the AppStore soon!
