Thank you very much for the reply!

This is precisely what I was hoping for. (I do have perl installed on my 
Mac.) However, it is not clear to me how to get the authorindex script 
running by making a converter. When I got XeTeX running in LyX I made a 
converter, so I have a vague idea how converters work in LyX, but in 
that case I just followed instructions that were available and I can't 
say that I understand more precisely what to type in ther in order to 
make it call authorindex. Can I just add something to the field called 
"Converter" (currently saying "xelatex $$i")? What should I write there?

The authorindex script is supposed to have the .aux file produced by 
latex as argument.

Thanks again!

Best,
Mats
