I finally succumbed and started using eplain (v1.9), and found to my shock and
amazement that I quite liked it.  A lot, even.  I like the fact that it's so
configurable, and doesn't constrain me very much at all.  A wonderful piece of
work.  The only thing that it seems to be lacking is any sort of indexing.  It
has a table-of-contents feature, which seems to work well enough (with some
messing up as it crosses page boundaries, but hey, chapters are supposed to
start at the beginning of a page, anyway).  It has references which (I assume)
handle page-boundary discrepancies and forward references in a two-pass style.
But no indexing.

Before I go off and write one, has anyone already done so?
