[OS X TeX] platexmkrc: makeindex for nomenclature

[Murray Eisenberg]

the nomenclature is working now without the addtion to platexmrc. I have no idea what changed to cause my problem with it -- except possibly that pdflatexmk was exhausting the permitted number of passes before reaching stability. (Although the issue of nomenclature entries being "rejected" seemed, from the log, to happen well before the final pass.)
