I see... is the format of this file documented somehow?
ISTR there used to be a "make index" which created something similar that 
was (is?) used on FreeBSD for package downloads by their installer.

Having only one such file around may make things a lot easier, and given 
that iMil's working on a very similar feature, working with him on the 
format of that file would probably be good.

As well as (of course) documenting its existance and format for future 
tools, which will likely pop up and use that file.
