I am especially interested in a solution for standard Zope objects
(which make most of our Zope site that should be made searchable).

I hope, I can automate "catalogRefind", too.
At least under Unix, the CRON demon can start programs at
fixed times. Such a program would execute the "catalogRefind"
either with a ZClient or directly with Python's HTTPlib.
