 Before it's non-embarrassingly releasable:
 
  - more flexible running modes
-    + combined scan+dump mode which doesn't even generate an index
-      file (nearly indistinguishable from find(1))
-    + load mode which reads a dump from standard input and builds
-      the index (need to nail down a perfectly general dump format)
     + at least some ability to chain actions within the same run:
       "agedu -s dirname -w" would seem handy.
