I've been working at software and hardware houses that have to get
out indexed books, often very quickly after the product is finalized,
anl the indexing capabilities made possible by combining the tm command
in troff with other utilities remove 99% of the last-minute insanity
from this process.  At my most recent job, I reworked an exisiting
awk script that did 2-level indexes into a 3-level indexer.  Unless/until
TeX can manage this, these people are not going to switch!
