Exactly.  My SP and Jade (DSSSL engine) ports are just waiting
for such a category to be formally approved.

Glimpse and isearch should at least have a cross reference in
database if they don't actually live there. 

Incidentally, a new version of Isearch is on the verge of being
released that is considerably faster--orders of magnitude, not
just little tweaks.  :)  Unfortunately, there are still some bugs
with index merging, possibly FreeBSD specific, that I'm trying to
shake out before it is released.
