	The extraction code I wrote as part of SWISH++ is just
	basically a more sophisitcated version of strings: strings
	prints any run of 3 (?) or more ASCII characters; SWISH++'s
	"extract" discards ASCII sequences representing hexadecimal
	numbers (for embedded images), PostScript keywords (for
	embedded EPSF), and a few other things, so it should always do
	a better job.

	The README explains why config files were intentionally not
	implemented.
