Summary: Indexing fails if there is only an index.html file produced

Initial Comment:
Currently the indexer skips the file index.html. If you generate webhelp with no chunking at all, then the indexer fails. Now you really shouldn't be indexing in this situation, but if you do the indexer fails ungracefully. It would be better if it quietly did nothing if there's nothing to index. 

This came up in the context of Docbkx. I was producing unchunked webhelp with search turned off. Docbkx still runs the indexer even if the search is off and it fails. So Docbkx should be modified not to run the indexer if search is off, but also the indexer shouldn't fail.

I had fixed this a while back by making the indexer index index.html by
default. It would be better if the files to skip were configurable.
