I have been rewriting much of nnir and this just added complexity. Since
I don't have any of these search engines I can't test them.
But in the end it wasn't too extreme an effort to modify them which I
have now done (with the exception of hyrex which I should get to this
weekend). So they can all be left in if we want.

I have heard back from one person who uses swish. So that leaves only
freewais and hyrex as candidates in any case.

Probably the best course.
