I use id-utils (/usr/ports/devel/id-utils).  It builds a single database
file and has a variety of tools (including e-lisp) to search the database.

Since global(1) was mentioned in this threaad, I decided to have a look
at it.  It seems much slower and my sample (samba-2.0.5a) database was
nearly 20 times larger.
