OK, but it's nice to keep replying to the list. For one, I'll read it
sooner (since it doesn't end up in the depths of my inbox) and for
another, other people read and respond to the list.

Why are you using a temporary directory? It's not really necessary. The
script was originally written to handle having your databases and such all
in one directory--the .work files won't clobber your working databases
until right at the end.

If you're using a temporary directory for indexing, leave the .work files
in place and simply change the parts of the script that copy the .work
versions to the regular versions to copy them into your working
directory. Leave the .work files in place so that they'll be picked up on
the next indexing run--htsearch doesn't need db.wordlist, for example, so
you don't want duplicate copies of everything.
