Attached there is a patch adding an id to the indexterms currently
referred by psycopg documentation, to be applied to the current head.
However I've tried to render the html docs with the head itself and I
see anchors are not generated anymore, while they are generated by the
makefile shipped in 8.4.4. Is this a decision or it just happened? In
the former case there is no point in applying the patch then.

I've also played with good results with a script to inject ids in all
the indexterm, but if the decision is to not provide anchors in the
middle of the page I think you wouldn't be interested in it.
