Ouch! I *know* that I had a generic macro solution for this, but
it probably got trashed after a re-install. The same problem
applies to references, so there is code in m-bib that takes
care of the problem. Anyway, a macro-base solution is fairly
simple to implement within context.

This is a trivial perl exercise: parse the tuo file for the register
entries and write a new file. 

In fact, implementing all of makeindex' functionality in perl is not 
too hard either.
