index.yaml and skip_files in app.yaml

[alex]

I'm not sure whether it's a feature or I'm doing something wrong, but using the latest SDK (1.6.3) and having

- ^(.*/)?index\.yaml
- ^(.*/)?index\.yml

(as described in http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/python/config/appconfig.html#Skipping_Files)

in skip_files section of app.yaml, sort of making dev_appserver.py (with --require_indexes option) really skip reading the indexes file and shout "you need to define index in your index.yaml" even though a specific index is defined in the file.

Removing the above (index\.yaml and index\.yml) from skip_files restores the "normal" behavior. 

PS haven't tried Java latest SDK.

btw, the latest dev_appserver lightning speed really rocks!
