Congratulations!  :-S

That would be wonderful.  Given a reasonable starting point I'm sure
we could push them the rest of the way.

Sorry, there's not even a chance :(.  I wiped my machine clean and the
backup file I was using to restore from (on a remote machine)
*disappeared* when my network connection dropped during the restore.
Not even professional data recovery specialists can find it.  I'm
seriously thinking about becoming a supervillain
(http://www.ubergeek.tv/switchlinux).

I don't think that part will be too hard.  The humps I was having a
hard time getting over were:

1. Conceptual understanding of the Synopsis AST architecture.  I
   think I got it at one point, but it doesn't take long for me to
   forget things these days ;-)

2. The fact that the DocBook output was broken to begin with, and I
   couldn't figure out how to fix it.

3. Conceptual understanding about how to plug together the Synopsis
   components into a tool which could process my source and output
   BoostBook.  Same deal as with #1.

Thanks Stephen,
