[OS X TeX] platexmkrc: makeindex for nomenclature

A book document book.tex being compiled with pdflatex through TeXShop with the pdflatexmk engine uses the following platexmkrc file:

	$makeindex = "makeindex -s %R.ist %O -o %D %S";

That platexmkrc meta-command is OK for the main index and index of names, but NOT for a nomenclature index, where the correct form seems to be:

	makeindex book.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o book.nls

How should platexmkrc be modfied?

The document also uses an index of names separate from the main index. So the root file book.tex includes:

	\usepackage{nomencl}
	...
	\begin{document}
	\makenomenclature 
	\makeindex[names] 
	\makeindex
	....
	...
	\printnomenclature
	\printindex[names]
	\printindex
	\end{document}
