That's Dr Seaman if you're going to insist on being formal.  Most people
call me Matthew.

And, yes I do have some perl code for index building.  It's only faster
on average because it understands how to do incremental updates.  Just
building an index from scratch is actually a bit slower than 'make index'

	Cheers,
