Summary: Index entries with "_" are wrong in pdf file

Initial Comment:
"make pdf".  Open lib.pdf in acrobat reader, or another
pdf viewer with the "bookmarks" feature.  Open the
"Python Language Services" item.  Section 18.8 (in CVS)
will read "pyprotect unhbox voidb at x kern 0.6emvbox
{hrule width.55em}compile --- Compile Python source files"

It should read simply "py_compile --- Compile Python
source files"---If you visit that section, that's the
title shown.

I only know enough LaTeX to get myself hurt, but it
looks like "_" was converted into a special sequence,
and the step that produces the index used the expanded
version.

It's a fix that would feel icky, but if this sequence
"protect ....55em}" was the same everywhere, simply
replacing that string with "_" when generating the
index would probably get the right results.

I first noticed this problem in dist.pdf where many of
the module names contained underscores.
