Full .NET client for Sphinx

Laid out as the .NET client for Sphinx promised. The current version supports only the tcp / ip protocol (as the most comprehensive of the available).

Main advantages:

• Full implementation of all commands and attribute types supported by the server in 0.9.9-rc2
• ADO.NET like API
• Strictly typed public interface (i.e. no fuss with converting Unix timestamp to DateTime, etc.)
• There is a test example of a web interface to Sphinx, with support for paging
• Subproject - GUI utility for experimenting with the server and tuning search settings

The project is in the release candidate stage. The most popular features have already been tested and are actively used (directly related to the search), but some add. classes have not been tested yet. Unit tests are also designed only for some classes. Functional tests are only in the plans so far.

Future plans:

• The processing interface of the test utility is required, it turned out to be very overloaded. Perhaps switching to MDI will help make it easier
• To make documentation on the interface, the API is quite different from the "native" clients
• LINQ to Sphinx (very distant plans)
