   Index File - Abstraction for an index of archive/source file.
   
   There are 4 primary sorts of index files, all represented by this 
   class:
   
   Binary index files 
   Binary translation files 
   Bianry index files decribing the local system
   Source index files
   
   They are all bundled together here, and the interfaces for 
   sources.list, acquire, cache gen and record parsing all use this class
   to acess the underlying representation.
