I've been doing a similar project using python. I scan the entire filesystem |
| 21 |
for html, pdf and chm files. Once found, I grab matching portage names and |
| 22 |
build a master html index for use with apache... |
| 23 |
|

Nice to know that someone else has the desire for handy document indexes... |
