The index files are suppose to be cross-platform, but there's a bug in
64bit platforms (well, at least for Alpha -- I got to get a NIC for that
machine...)

But the swish-e binary is not cross-platform, of course, so that has to be
installed locally.  If going to that trouble to install swish-e then might
as well build the index locally.

There's also the current issue with using Storable to cache config for the
search script -- although nstore() is used, it's Storable-version specific.
