After a quick skim of images.py: So, in other words, in order to add a
new directive, I'm going to have to understand how the state machine
works?

Note that currently I don't care about reST generating the actual index;
I'm only interested in emitting index tags for OpenOffice.  That goes
double because OpenOffice will be converted to Word and thence to Frame
before the index gets generated.

(Yes, I'm ignoring your questions about requirements for now; I'm more
interested in hacking up something which gives minimal results.)
