#4719: TeX Live does not build xindy fron source

-------------------------+-------------------------
Xindy is supplied by the TeX binary installer, but not rebuilt from
source. Separated out from #4647.
Brief summary (see that ticket for more details)
1. needs clisp, which is a bit of a pain to build, and perhaps other
packages.
For me, the clisp testsuite ends in a segfault and I have no suitable
document for testing if the from-source xindy works.
2. needs
{{{
--enable-xindy --enable-xindy-rules --enable-xindy-doc
}}}
3. there is a file xindy.run from the binary which did NOT get replaced
when I installed the source with the above switch. Perhaps there is some
alternative way of forcing that to get installed.
