There's indexing software out there. CINDEX is the one I hear referred to
most often on the publishing lists to which I subscribe.

No substitute for the real thing -- that being people who know what to look
for, doing it -- but handy tools nonetheless. I'm not sure that any software
does *everything* your friend is looking for, though -- in my experience
there are no substitutes for some human intervention at some stages of the
process. YMMV; after 24 years in the publishing biz, I realized recently I
am a curmudgeon.
