I recognize that makeindex lacks the hyperref features that may be 
useful
for online documents, as well as the extensions that Xindy hopes to
bring to the indexing process. But it suits my needs. So can I 
include eplain.tex and use its indexing commands without messing 
something
else up? AFAIK its macros (\idx, \sidx etc.) do not have name 
conflicts
with the corresponding ConText commands.

Since I do indexing and typesetting for money this is not just idle
curiosity :-)
