sample getting started .conf file?

I didn't see one in the documentation, but is there a
sample swish-e.conf file that would work for indexing
one's local docs and files?

In the absence of a config file, it appears the default is
to treat all files like HTML and to index all file types
with that assumption.

I went to the swish-config man page, but it isn't real
helpful if one just wants a simple intelligent default as
a starting point to try things out.  Or is it expected one
will become acquainted with the entire swish-config document
before starting?  That seems daunting for my "Hello World"
program...:-)

Thinking something along the lines of the example conf files
included with samba, squid, where they provide a starting example
or starting point while at the same time documenting possible
options...?

Something like:
<Index content only of file types I tell you about>
<assume htm/html/HTM/HTML  are  html>
<assume txt  is text>
# uncomment next line if you have pdftotext installed:
# FileFilterMatch pdftotext "'%p' -" "/\\.pdf$/"

# must preprocess compressed or packed files to index them
preprocToStdin   .gz gunzip
preprocToFileOrDir   .tar using "tar xf %file"

# uncomment next line if you have word doc filter installed
# FileFilterMatch catdoc "'%p -" "/\\.doc$/"

thanks!
Sorry if I missed this somewhere...
