Support for Module "magento-hackathon/AsyncIndex"

[pquerner]

While this module works great, it should have integrated support for moudle "magento-hackathon/AsyncIndex"

Module src: https://github.com/magento-hackathon/AsyncIndex

As of now, after altering products/categories via an external updater, the groupscatalog2 indexes wont cover the new information because the module sets the status to "Manual Update".

Maybe also if the import was done via "fastsimpleimport" by AvS the indexes should be invalidated.

I'll be happy to merge such a PR

@Vinai Do you have the slightest idea you could give me on where to start?
Do I somehow add your modules index to the magento cores "index_event" table, and hope it gets catched by some other module (even AsyncIndex)?

We currently think about going the easy way as I dumped in a few hours into this issue to just have the two indexes renewed by cron every hour or so.

I have never worked with the async index module, so I don't know any internals. Sorry I can't be any help.
