OK, it sounds like it makes sense to add support for PostScript as a backend.
Can you or Richard check the attached patch? I do not have confidence
in editing configure.py. I did test it and it works for me.

Subject: [PATCH] Add a DocBook -> PS converter
Before, the converter chain for DocBook -> PDF (ps2pdf) was:
docbook -> DVI
DVI -> Postscript
Postscript -> PDF (ps2pdf)
sgmltools has a backend for PostScript so the first two
steps in the above converter chain are now condensed into
one by adding the following converter for docbook -> Postscript:
sgmltools -b ps $$i
