It is a bit of a mess, but we never agreed on the best way to sort it
out.

The best way to sort this out, I think, was to fix the !@#$ index
generation in Texinfo.  Now that Texinfo 5 has presumably been rewritten
in Perl, maybe we should try bringing this up on the Texinfo mailing
list again.

The basic topic is to have a way to get \xyz sorted under X.  In older
versions of Texinfo, at least the TeX version of the index was generated
by running the "texindex" program (which is, hard to know from its name,
quite specific to Texinfo in contrast to the general-purpose "makeindex"
program).
