Short:
Launch an indexing daemon (rebuild_zebra.pl -daemon) process for each
enabled instance. Enabling/disabling the use of the indexer is handled
by global configuration variables in /etc/default/koha-common.
Also provides command line tools to manage the running indexer daemons
for your instances.
Long:
Using an indexing daemon avoids launching a new interpreter each time
the cron triggers the indexing, and also allows sub-minute incremental
reindexing, a requirement from our librarians.[1]
Using the indexer daemon could remain "experimental" until it gets more
testing; so is disabled by default initially. To enable the use of the
indexer the user has to tweak the /etc/default/koha-common config file.
Specifically the USE_INDEXER_DAEMON variable, which is clearly explained
in the file.
Frecquency defaults to 5 sec, and can be changed by tweaking the
/etc/default/koha-common config file too.
This patch uses rebuild_zebra.pl in daemon mode, but it is crafted to
allow changing the indexing daemon and passing specific option switches
it might need.

As asked by Robin, a bash lib of functions is introduced with the common
functions to be reused. Most of the scripts are modified (reduced) to
include this file and the repeated functions cleaned.
No noticeable change in behaviour should be noticed.
As I've been todl in #debian-mentors, it is used that files for inclusion
should be installed at the apps directory (i.e. /usr/share/koha/) so this
patch makes the install script put the file in the bin/ directory.
All koha-* scripts assume the file is there already (and fail otherwise).
