I'd like to take the opportunity to point those of you who are not familiar with
the IMS Corpus Workbench (freely available for research purposes & non-trivial)
towards the Corpus Toolbox web page: It's

http://www.ims.uni-stuttgart.de/CorpusToolbox/

. Some of the desiderata (Oliver Christ would say: "Most.." :) mentioned in the
former mails in this thread are dealt with in this toolbox already, some may be
in the near future.
