Foo. This isn't going to fly. I want to cut this whole thing as a CD
ROM to be mounted under /home/httpd/html/<dir> on any convenient
machine (that has htsearch installed in cgi-bin). Thus the need for
no references to specific machine names in the database, and thus the
need for everything to be self contained in its own directory tree.
And I expect to have several different <dir>'s independantly indexed
this way and possibly mounted at the same time.
The RFC's are just one example, but I also want to do this
with several huge mail archives.
Sounds like I'm going to need to hack htsearch to be a little more
flexible in where it can take its config file from, and carry around a
custom binary of that program.
OK, I should have downloaded the source in the first place.

My current CI is 28. I'm 41. I need 14 more cylinders by my next
birthday. Two PWC's and an SUV ought to do it. Thats my new goal.
