Could somebody please help me get up to speed on placing 
taxiway signage.  Is it possible to specify it in an .ind file and then 
drop the file into the scenery directory for Flightgear to pick up, or 
does the .ind file have to be run through Terragear during scenery 
generation first?

In the following .ind file (from the San Jose scenery):

OBJECT SanJose
OBJECT_STATIC tower.ac -121.93 37.3592 20 45
OBJECT_TAXI_SIGN F<y> -121.924674 37.360965 16.07 220
OBJECT_TAXI_SIGN F<n> -121.924674 37.360965 16.07 40
OBJECT_RUNWAY_SIGN 30L-12R -121.926628 37.359911 16.91 
220
OBJECT_TAXI_SIGN F -121.926628 37.359911 16.91 40
OBJECT_TAXI_SIGN Y<c> -121.919099 37.355383 18.44 130
OBJECT_TAXI_SIGN Y -121.919099 37.355383 18.44 310

what do the <y>, <n> and <c> mean after the taxiway sign letter?

Additionally, does anyone have a description for the various letters 
used in the default.apt file, or is it necessary to e-mail Robin 
directly?

FWIW, ground ATC control needs some sort of encoding of 
taxiway and hold point names in order to give plausible directions, 
so automatic placement of taxiway signage should come for free 
on the back of this.
