I count with oi-build as final option. But sgml2roff lived in ON gate
for long time and all its Makefiles are "ONgateized". It is not simple
task to move it somewhere else. I understand I have to do it but
probably not now and my current plan is to ask RE for OI to fork the
gate and "backout" the changeset with EOF for some time. If I want to
update JDS soon, then I cannot waste my time on it.

Best regards,

Milan
