That would be most welcome (although please use sh (not bash) or Perl
to keep in the spirit of what the rest of Amanda releases).

However (you knew that was coming, right? :-) ...

This is a much harder thing to do than you might think.  If the image
is created with GNU tar, and you have GNU tar on the tape machine,
then it's not too bad.

Otherwise, you have to send the image back to the original machine (or a
machine with the same restore software) to create the index, then grab
that output back on the server and run it through the appropriate sed
to create the file.

There's a reason nobody has fought this battle yet :-).
