[Padre-dev] opening an arbitrary pod file

[Gabor Szabo]

Besides viewing the docs of perl 5 I'd like to be able to see a
searchable version
of the Parrot documentation - currently scattered around several
directories in the
svn checkout of Parrot and the Perl 6 documentation.
Obviously I'd like to be able to index and search them separately.
