The list of indexes is duplicated in a few places and there is now unused cruft in the Makefile. A makefile ninja could make short work of making it bad-ass again.

Random comment here: as our schema change testing demonstrates, Jenkins can be made to execute things on other servers (schema change testing is being done on rocko, where we have a disk with brtfs). This opens up the possibility of, instead of having a Makefile like we do, hooking up index builds to Jenkins. This also makes it easy for us to be alerted immediately in IRC when indexes do something funny during build. It would also presumably make it easy to wire up the freedb index build to happen only on actual updates to the freedb data file.
