Can't process javascript without a javascript interpeter, but for PHP 
I'd think you would want to spider instead of using the file system 
search.

No I don't, and google isn't much help.  I just set mail to the xpdf 
author, but you might also try asking on a group like comp.text.pdf.

Here's some options:

1) use spider.pl with SWISH::Filter

2) if you have a good reason not to spider (like files are not 
available on a web server) use the prog-bin/DirTree.pl example program 
and copy in the code from SwishSpiderConfig.pl to use SWISH::Filter

3) try the filters listed at http://www.spocom.com/users/gjohnson/mutt/
and use a FileFilter directive.  I have not tried those filters.

Google might find other solutions.
