Is there an index generating program|macro for TeX?  Ie. something 
that will take a TeX file and a list of words to index (or a list of words not
to index), and produce TeX (or text) listing the words and the corresponding
page numbers.  I understand that makeindex will generate an index from TeX
having constructs like "keyword \index{keyword}", but I'd like to figure out
a way to avoid typing all that.  It seems feasible to do with a few awk and
seds, but surely someone's already done it.  Thanks.
