Strigi revisited

[Pablo El Feo]

I've been looking into Scott's Bug #227280... I'd seem that sgrigi is indexing 
it's own indexes... so they become larger, and it needs to update the index 
with the new info, and that makes the index grow, so it has to update again, 
and... well... you get the point.
I already removed strigi from my system and I really don't want to install it 
again. But, if there's a way to tell it not to index a folder, could someone 
try to tell it not to index it's indexes... just to see what happens.
