Using "make update-copyrights" after setting GNULIB_PATH in my
config.mak

The words "extinbox" and "extindex" are too close and easy to
confuse with the other. Rename "extinbox" to "external", since
these could be IMAP, JMAP or other non-public-inbox search APIs.

While a single extindex combines multiple inboxes into a single
search index, extindex still requires up-front indexing on items
which can be searched. XSearch has no on-disk footprint itself
and uses Xapian DBs of existing publicinbox and extindex
("extinbox") exclusively.
XSearch still suffers from the multi-shard Xapian scalability
problems which led to the creation of extindex, but I expect the
number of shards to remain relatively low.
I envision users hosting public-inbox instances on their
workstations will only have two extindex combined by this, one
read-only extindex for serving public archives, and one
read-write extindex managed by LeiStore for private mail.
