Do you have sources checked in already? I'm thinking the the easiest approach
would be to add something like:

        <docbook-indexer>tools/indexer//indexer

to Jamroot (and it will be hooked in more-or-less automatically). And if you
want to use prebuilt version, you would have to modify Jamroot to use
the path to the prebuilt binary. This is slightly less fancy than setting things
in user-config.jam, but easier to implement.
