For C/C++/Java it should be quite easy to write a lex/yacc parser which
eliminates reserved words, operators and other "noise" characters. In
addition, such a parser could globally declared functions and variables
to <H> tags.
There should be some source->html converters somewhere at freshmeat,
which
already do some nice markup. Either plugging such a converter into the
web-server for converting plain source files on-the-fly or having such
a tool (perhaps with little modifications) generate input for the digger
should be no problem.

Perhaps it is easier (and better, although slower) to convert dvi->ps
and use the PostScript feature of conv_doc.pl - dvi2ascii and similar
might lead to some unwanted effects with regards to embedded graphics,
which probably cause a lot of noise in the document database (the
excerpts will contain lots of dashes/vertical bars etc for rulers).
