This part is pretty easy: using the IndexCategory class, it is easy to
add a new category in the global index. Then you need to populate it
with IndexItem. See for example the way I have used it for villages:
  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/maposmatic/ocitysmap.git/tree/ocitysmap2/indexlib/indexer.py#n384

Maybe the only difficult part is to correctly fill the endpoint1 and
endpoint2 parts:
  
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/maposmatic/ocitysmap.git/tree/ocitysmap2/indexlib/indexer.py#n423
Currently, this is black magic for me. Maybe David Decotigny could
give you further details, AFAIK he wrote that part of the code.

Best regards,
