If I understood you correctly, you want to group some index entries into
*separate* indices, or in other words, a "specialized index". Right?

Use the "type" attribute (»Specifies the target index for this term«). Try
this:
<indexterm type="variable">
<primary>track-eol</primary>
</indexterm>
Don't forget to insert the following line (generally at the end of your
document):
<index type="variable"/>
All index entries marked with "type" and its value "variable" is shown
under this index. For more information, see [1].
Hope this helps. :)
Bye,
Tom
