Easier said than done.  I found one, actually, that seems like it can do
the job, but when it's trying to index the more active groups like this 
one it dies when the indexing process reaches 64M of memory.  I have 64M 
of physical memory and 128M of swap, but it never seems to touch swap.  
I haven't figured that out yet.
