Filefilter directives on Windows should look something like this:
  FileFilter .doc catdoc.exe '-s8859-1 -d8859-1 "%p"'

The lib/swish-e directory is the first place Swish-e looks for external
programs.

swish_filter.pl is a front end to SWISH::Filter that works with
FileFilter.

As Bill suggested, the best way is to use DirTree.pl with -S prog
method.  DirTree.pl also uses SWISH::Filter but it only has to load it
once instead of once per document.
