This has the unfortunate effect that if the sorted index files are 
missing but the unsorted index files aren't, then texi2dvi won't
call texindex.  For example:

# this creates index files file.??
$ pdfetex file.texi

# this sees that file.?? hasn't changed and doesn't create file.??s
$ texi2pdf file.texi

This situation won't occur very often as usually people will always use
texi2pdf or texi2dvi instead of pdfetex or etex, but it's confusing 
enough when it happens that I think it is worth fixing. I'm looking at
texi2dvi now to try to see how to fix this.
