The Emacs and Jed info readers don't like my index format: Info menu

items of the form `* stuff: Section 1.2.' are parsed by standalone
info as `Section 1.2' followed by a period, but are parsed by other
readers as `Section 1' followed by a period and then some spare
text. Therefore, I've changed strategy, and the index is now full of
*Note cross-references rather than menu items. On the plus side,
this means there are no longer any special characters which we can't
tolerate in an index entry; on the minus side, my shiny new
infrastructure for tracking the filepos of index entries is now
rendered pointless. I'll leave it in, though, since it may come in
handy again.
