I've been thinking about this today, and one thing that I forgot to mention in my post above was to try DADGAD tuning.
DADGAD has lots of potential for one, two and three finger chords up and down the fretboard. As well as playing melodies with drone backing. If you can only work with your middle, ring and pinkie fingers then DADGAD is worth having a play around with.
I used DADGAD for the accompaniment in Elzic's Farewell in my signature below. I made the chords up by ear (not difficult in DADGAD) and I'm pretty sure that my index finger wasn't involved.
