Fix for indexing macros.

I can't see any diff on rietveld, but presumably there's so much being changed
that a diff wouldn't be helpful anyway.

If a "make doc" looks good to you, and you're willing to handle any potential
fall-out from breakage at this point in the release cycle, then as far as I'm
concerned you can push directly to staging.  OTOH, if you'd rather wait until
2.17, that's cool too.

Downloading the raw patch works, and so does looking at the dev/texinfo branch
in git  I uploaded the changes two times without success: I have no idea what
makes Rietveld go wrong here.

The indexes look ok to me.  Werner claimed that this Texinfo version would make
it possible to improve formatting.  If 2.16 comes with a better printed manual,
that's not wrong.  I have not seen positive evidence to this effect, or more
specific information about what would be needed to make use of the additional
possibilities, and who would do the work.

I'm currently in Japan, with bad internet access (and additionally, I can only
use the web interface for writing emails, which I heartily dislike, since SMTP
doesn't work here in the hotel for yet unknown reasons), so it will take some
time until I'm able to test this and communicate with the lilypond community
again.  Sorry for this delay.

Well, in that case I'll just go for it.  I suppose we'll get enough of a
shake-down period to to be sure that the manuals did not change for the worse.
