This is an interesting idea....

This might be handy. :)

This leads me to another idea... I maintain all of my code, documents,
etc. in CVS. At some point, I might switch to a differ VCS, but the idea
still holds...

I would love to see someone create a CVS commit script that would update
a static index. Then, I could rsync those indexes to my laptop so that
my searches would yield results from my entire set of documents, even if
they're not checked out on the machine at the moment.

If someone is interested in coding this, please let me know. I could
probably be convinced to put up a bounty if necessary.
