I'd say makeinfo is already way too hairy.  If necessary, can add
simple support for the splitting case, but I'm not going to fix
external linking for the non-splitting case.

Anyway, I've put up a new patch that features a compilation fix that
somehow didn't make in into the previous patch, a doco update, and a
simple script for generating the master index.html (I needed this for
the LilyPond documentation anyway, it may serve as an example for a
``real'' implemention).
