WAIS indexing with URLs

Off of Marc's early documentation, I've put together the following
script using URL support in freeWAIS 2.0.2. However, using the feature
seems to break the -nocontents flag, so I've commented out the lines that
index image/code things. (It gets painfully slow if you have a lot of images.)
IMHO, I don't think it works all that well. I suppose I like
seeing the full URL more, but I still want it to refer to a real URL,
not this WAIS docid stuff.
For now, the index is going through

http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu:8001/www.hcc.hawaii.edu:2010/index
