I modified search.c to return maxhits for each individual index specified
instead of maxhits spanning all indices.  I placed my modified copy of the
search.c on my web server:
http://www.webaugur.com/wares/files/search.c.gz

If someone wants to add it to the official dist, then that is fine with me.

Assuming: swish-e -f index1 index2 -m 3 -w test

The original code would output:
# Index1 Comments
Index1 result 1
Index1 result 2
Index1 result 3
# Index2 Comments
.err no results

My modification outputs:
# Index1 Comments
Index1 result 1
Index1 result 2
Index1 result 3
# Index2 Comments
Index2 result 1
Index2 result 2
Index2 result 3
