oh ... so thats a bug ?
I never understood the millions of path_prefix
configure supports (prefix, exec_prefix, sysconfdir and more) and my
sysconfdir defaults to $prefix/etc, so I always use
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc ...

To check if beagle "would" index a file ?
 - you can use
$ beagle-extract-content /path/to/file
 - it would even tell you what filter would be used and what contents
will be extracted

To check if beagle indexed some particular file,
$ beagle-dump-index /path/to/file
(not sure if tarballs contain beagle-dump-index, its more of a
debugging tool and is in cvs; also i dont remember the parameter
syntax of beagle-dump-index)
