Essentially just 'make index'.

Someone has an incremental index build tool in ports(see other reply),
but I haven't seen commits to this in quite a while so I don't know
whether it's not actively maintained or if it just works.  There are
many subtleties with incremental index building, and I haven't
evaluated this tool to see whether it handles them all or if it's just
"close enough for most people".
