I think that it would be worthwhile to start a working group to produce something like this. At the very least one could download all the relevant texts, package them and write a few shell scripts to allow searching or display of selected parts. I invite all who are interested in participating in any way to contact me - we can start a project. Tanach is open source (although not "free" because you are not allowed to make changes) and very suited to the spirit of Linux.
