We need to create an index.xsl file and put the file into the 
/gnome-docu/gdp/xsl directory. Then we need to modify the 
gnome-customization.xsl file to call in the index.xsl file. I've started off an 
index.xsl file, but I don't know enough about the xsl templates to finish the 
file. I've attached my starter file, someone else might be able to finish this 
off. 

Presumably you can switch the index generation off by modifying the 
generate.index parameter in the index.xsl file to select="1".
