It will see the changes after the next run. Once it's indexed a
document on a run, it won't come back.

Do *not* run htmerge at the same time as htdig! If you want to do
stop-and-restart, I'd either check out the -l option:
http://www.htdig.org/htdig.html
or, I'd use server_max_docs and/or max_hopcount to index a small set
of documents, then expand the list later.

The next time you run it.

Removing a URL that exists from the db is not realy possible at the
moment. If a URL is deleted, it will be removed from the db
automatically.

The start_url attribute can contain multiple URLs. Heck, you could
write up a file of URLs and include that as the start_url.
