This is just useless noise. If it could tell the difference between an
up-to-date index and a not-up-to-date one, there might be some value
to it ... but as-is I think it's just getting in the user's face.
Everyone using these tools knows about the two-pass behavior.

I just got done reading an interesting comparison of MS Vista versus
Mac OS X:

The guy's very first complaint about Vista is how it demands your
attention constantly with trivial warning messages. This seems in much
the same vein.
