Since most of these scripts (create-site-index in particular) are

mod_mbox repository (more in something like the infra repos for
example).
Actually, I think they do belong in this repository. We should really
add the CGI script that does the msgid search too. Hopefully, once the
mbox-search project is done, we can replace more of these scripts.
Obviously, I agree.
Part of what makes mod_mbox is having the utilities and 'framework' to set
up a web-based mail archive.
Here's an analogy: you could make a case that you don't need htpasswd in
httpd - but without it, it makes it difficult to set up.
Certainly for simpler setups, you might not want to use these scripts.
But, if you're doing a large setup, it'd greatly easy the difficulty in
setting the archives up if you can build upon a set of scripts that others
have used.
In general, any new documentation would be awesome.
After I finish updating the mail-archives.apache.org site, I'll try to add
a quick README that describes the new configuration. -- justin
