Barton, I see that index.hhk is created by executing the Perl script
create_index, which is executed by the rule for contents.hhc. I guess
make decided not to execute the rule for some reason. If you remove
contents.hhc and try again, does it execute create_index? if so, does
create_index create index.hhk?

HTH. Just some guesses after looking at Makefile.am.
