Comment(by rmo):

 ''From the bug report:''
   Improve seek-bzip2 to read from a file (rather than stdin). Code at hg
 clone http://bitbucket.org/james_taylor/seek-bzip2 -- it can do the
 "random access to bzip2" for us.

 It may no longer be relevant, but I have attached a short python snippet
 -- attachment:"blockindex.py" -- that uses seek-bzip2 in place of libwp to
 generate indices and interactively seek to articles from an xml.bz2 file,
 as generated by dumps.wikimedia.org. (This uses seek-bzip2 unmodified, as
 a pair of executables within the PATH.)

 On a slightly related note, does anyone know why we generate an
 .xml.bz2.processed file instead of using the .xml.bz2 directly?
