It's part of Findutils.  Originally, updatedb was a shell script, but I 
hacked up a batch file which supports the most basic options of the 
script, so that Bash would not be required.  (The original shell script
is also included, in case someone needs the more advanced options.)

You should have updatedb.bat in your bin subdirectory if you installed 
the ported Findutils.
