You can enable additional features in HTML Help Workshop and see what is
in generated project file. By using copy and paste approach you can add
[Windows] and other sections to .hhp by setting following parameter for
HTML Help stylesheet:

<xsl:param name="htmlhelp.hhp.tail">
[WINDOWS]
...
</xsl:param>

Yes it would. But I hadn't enough courage to study nasty hex-codes and
reengeener what they mean and how they are composed. Setting these
parametrs in Workshop and adding them via htmlhelp.hhp.tail is the
fastest solution.

You don't need Index.hhk file when producing HTML Help from DocBook.
Index entries are spread over HTML files as ActiveX components and HTML
Help Compiler collects them and create index for you.
