Somebody just recommended this text-from-binary extractor to me,
and I reckon it might be good to use in Alaveteli.

http://tika.apache.org/

Apparently it is very good at pulling out text (or HTML) version of
any binary file.

Sure, it's in Java, but that is no worse than the bunch of diverse
tools we currently spawn to make text.
