Too modest.

The great advantage of using jeKai is that WWWJDIC links to it 
automatically. A daily cron job at Monash downloads the jeKai TOC, and
makes up a headword/URL list which is used to enable the "jeKai"
link on the matching entries.

Speaking of indexing to other sources, has anyone found if the 
Japanese Wikipedia has list of available article titles that can be
downloaded. It would be VERY nice to put in links to them if they
could be accurately determined.
