 Given the poor reliability of filters, it would be nice to be able to use
 omindex on a single file instead of a directory.  This could be used as a
 fallback after filter failure.  It would be an alternative to my
 enhancement request "omindex: fallback filter(s)?"
 http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/568

 The use case I am thinking of is:
 1. Run omindex normally.
 2. Parse the omindex output identifying files that failed.
 3. Run the modified omindex on each failed file with a different filter.

 It could be implemented by making BASEDIR argument mandatory when the last
 argument is a file instead of a directory.
