There're two solutions (IMHO) :

1. On port creation stage -- just modify build or installation scripts for
linking nonstandalone TOCs (like manual_toc.html) to index.html. Maybe it
can be solved by adding yet another ``MLINKS+='' ?

2. Adding files/DOCROOT file which contains link to documenation index.
