For use with pgnus, I'd like to change the args to -H and -F to search
through another glimpse index of a separate dir structure.

Wow - that's just what I need. I've customized it to search through my
non-Mail archive.

in the minibuffer, the way Shutko's glimpse.el does, but that's not
necessary for me now.
