If you use builtin-unpack-objects.c from next, you'll be able to 
generate the pack index pretty easily as well, as all the needed info is 
stored in the obj_list array.  Just need to append objects remaining on 
the delta_list array to the end of the pack, sort the obj_list by sha1 
and write the index.

Pretty trivial indeed.
