We need such a beast as well.  We want to be able to take a large 
nroff source document, imbed index flags in the text, and have those
flags detected during formatting so that an index can be generated as a 
side effect.  We also need an index by outline heading levels, but I am
pretty sure that nroff and one of it's macros can do that.

Please also drop a line to ptsfa!cogent!mark if you know of any
pre-processor or whatever that will do this.

Thanx in advance.
