637ad47e61 convert(): Make sure no line has trailing whitespace. (docfixer.py
checks for \n\n as a paragraph separator, LaTeX allows white
	space between the newlines.)

ccc627200a write_idxfile(): New function. Isolate format of the external index
data file used by buildindex.py.

next_argument_id():  Removed; no longer used.

next_argument():  Doesn't use next_argument_id(), just does the work.

gen_target(), gen_target_name():  Removed, no longer used.  The only
	place that used them now does the (trivial) work directly.


Lots of little changes so we never have to pass around $br_id values
all over the place.  The only places they're used now new IDs are
generated as needed.

the index a bit.

b75d021081 Typo: "TWELV" --> "TWELVE"
Added note at top, since LaTeX style writers like to force name
changes when someone else makes a change to the style.  I'm sending a
note to the author reporting the error and asking for an updated
version.

This cannot be distributed in this form.  This will be resolved when I
get a response from Ulf Lindgren.

Typo reported by rwolff@noao.edu (Richard Wolff).
