The limitation with this is that the user has to plan for this and setup the
scripts for each pdb that may have a word doc.  Also, last I knew, the perl
scripts didn't work under windows, where Word docs are most likely to be.

If scripts need to be made/altered anyway, why not include it in the python
parser?  The wv support can be an optional download and there are the added
benefits of (1) easier usage for the windows dummies and (2) mixed content
pages will be parsed without any prior setup.

Of course, I'd like to see more document types supported.  I use plucker
more as a document reader than a content grabber.  A lot of periodic
corporate data is distributed as Word documents or PDFs though, so
supporting these formats in the parser (even as a wrapper to another tool
like wv) could accomplish both.
