That is one of the problems with CTM - it doesn't allow for this kind of thing. 
  The best thing to do is to never run make index.  I never run it, and it never 
causes me problems.  Every once in a while, the index will be updated by CTM - 
it won't be absolutely up to date, but most of the time that will be OK.
