I've pushed my refactoring of the XHTML output. According to my tests, it
is functionally equivalent to the previous code, but with cleaner XHTML
output (new lines, use of dashes for internationalisation).
Also, I believe the code is much easier to understand and modify in the
long term (it also handles more than three levels of index, even if I doubt
it will ever be useful). Algorithmically, it has a very similar time
complexity but has arrays to store the index in a format closer to the
XHTML output. Except for very large indices, this should not have a
significant impact on users.

Next: port the DocBook code to reuse as much as possible of the new XHTML
implementation; add features to the XHTML export (multiple indices and
ranges should be more or less easy to implement).

Feedback welcome on the code :)!
