[PATCH] index: allow indexing before configuration

[PATCH] index: allow indexing before configuration

[Eric Wong]

One may build the initial index on a powerful host and transfer
it to a weaker one for incremental indexing.  Thus there is
no requirement to have a configured public-inbox for building
the index unless a user needs altid support or some such.
