libextractor
============

does not support all formats but supports a simple plugging mechanism
such that you can quickly add extractors for additional formats, even
without recompiling libextractor.  libextractor typically ships with a
few dozen helper-libraries (plugins) that can be used to obtain
keywords from common file-types.

libextractor is a GNU package (http://www.gnu.org/).
