Bad news re: Spotlight. Apparently as currently implemented there's no viable way for a third-party to provide Spotlight indexing for arbitrary files. Eagle is not dead; I will be addressing the bugs and other issues in the editor. I just can't apparently make them searchable at this time. I'd very much like to hear suggestions for improving the usefulness of this package until/unless Apple changes Spotlight's behavior.
