TODO list for remembrance-agent

- Have a way for users to configure scopes... by default it uses
  'memory' as a scope
- FIX bugs
-  make all programs first check for system-wide configuration file
   in /etc/savantrc if none is provided.
- make a way for other packages to modify /etc/savantrc
- separate emacs el files, change Depends to Suggests on emacs (the
back-end can still be used by other programs, i.e dpkg-iasearch)

1. Remembrance agent seems to have trouble with SGML files,
add a Template in order to identify them so as to NOT treat
them like HTML. As a matter of fact, ra-index 'freezes' with
SGML files (read the file, jumps to the beginning, reads it
again...)
-->Modified savantrc, added an SGML linuxdoc template
-->This no longer helps in 2.x no savantrc (jfs, april 2001)

2. An HTTP method can be added to retrieve documents and index
them along with local files.
3. Recognize compressed files (gz, zips) and (by option) decompress them
to try to index the uncompressed file.

4. DONOT follow symbolic links, otherwise loops may occur. Maybe set this
 as an option.

5. DONOT index files begining with a '.', these are usually hidden files, or
configuration files in home directories that need not be indexed.

6. DONOT use several temp directories when building the database (might
die of lack of space), instead remove temp directories when not needed (seems
they stay there until database is finished)

7. The Database building needs WAY TOO much Hardisk, should be lighter, check
how it is done and find how to improve.

8. Test with Emacs 20
