Comment:

 Found a macro and created a bash script that seems to work ok as a proof
 of concept.
 It doesn't require openoffice to be running in the background like my
 previous script.

 At this stage the macro is converting pdf,pptp,pps,doc,xls to html as
 OpenOffice supports HTML export for almost everything while only certain
 documents can be exported to text.

 I guess we can use Xapian's method for parsing HTML in conjunction with
 this, although what's in the bash script is prob better off converting to
 C (which I'm not any good at).

 I've commented the bash script so it should be easy enough to follow.
