No, sorry

	texlua norbert_search.lua [--mark-sys-files] SUBDIR
because it reads the input from STDIN.

STDIN format:
----------
file
ext ext ext ...
file
ext ext ext ...

STDOUT format:
----------
file
resolved file | empty | SYSTEM:resolved system file

Too much overhead since it has only one option and parsing is easy ;-)
