Hey Steve,

I get this error when trying to run tools/indexcap.py:

It appears that multiprocessing was introduced in Python v2.6:

   http://docs.python.org/dev/library/multiprocessing.html

My Mac OS X 10.5.8 system doesn't have that version (provided by Apple):

 >python --version
Python 2.5.1
Is there another way to accomplish that or make it optional so we don't have to upgrade Python? 

The multiprocessing module has been backported to Python 2.4/2.5:

http://code.google.com/p/python-multiprocessing/

I haven't tried this myself so I can't vouch for it.
