Hum, David, wasn't there some issue with catdoc on Windows?  Did you fix
something there?

Ah, you want to *search* for filenames.

(all in 2.1-dev, of course)

Just add:

  MetaNames swishdocpath

Then you can limit searches to word in the document path

  ./swihs-e -w swishdocpath=(gif)

then it will find any docs with a path part of "gif"  (assuming you don't
index the period.

There's also ExtractPath where you can use a regular expression to extract
parts of a path.  For example (not tested)

   ExtractPath the_extension regex !^.+\.([^/]+)$!$1!

then 

   ./swish-e -w foo the_extension=(doc)

limit searches for the word "foo" in files that end in .doc.
