Working on a patch to org-latex that will translate #+INDEX:  So far
it's a little more difficult than I'd hoped.  If we have that, then
adding something to automagically invoke the right latex fu to
accumulate and print the index should be relatively trivial.  Even
adding a new export method should be ok (modulo fixing the general
bibtex + makeindex privs issue).
