The build scripts don't do anything with the INDEX.  That's all done by
hand during and after the build.  However, it might not be a bad idea to
copy of the full INDEX once it's complete for purposes of commitment. 
Or, perhaps Kris could modify his RTP build to do the same.

Hosting an INDEX file on freefall might be a bad idea given its size and
lack of disk space on freefall.
