Details:

Hello,
I am trying to find a source code for findutils, and maybe convice the
original author to add a tagging system to the locate/updatedb software.

I would like to add a tag to a folder
updatetag personal ./thisfile.txt
or
updatetag ./thisfile.txt personal,school,reviewlater

and be able to find the files by tags like
locatetag personal

This would somehow had to be incorporated into locate database and the
format
it is stored in.
How hard would be to create these two programs. Would the original
authors be interested in something like that?

Thanks,
Lucas
