Yes, I think our use of _cv_ variables in many of the existing autoconf
macros is unlikely to change without causing major headaches (for example,
gnulib inspects ac_cv_func_NAME all over the place to see what happened
with AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE), so documenting stable cache variables is a good
step.  I take it you've inspected dvi and/or pdf output, to make sure the
new index looks reasonable?
