Hi, I am happy to say that the troff-based tool to convert DocBook to PDF or PostScript which I talked about back in January exists (and actually existed even back then).
Collax, Inc., <http://www.collax.com/>, the company for which I have been working during the last years, has decided to release the code for this tool under the GPL. It is used to format the PDF manuals for our server products. Thus, it has been tailored for this specific use: It allows to customize the layout of the output almost as flexibly as with a direct troff document; on the other hand, only a rather restricted subset of DocBook 4.3 is supported since we did not bother to implement functionality which we did not actually use. The project home page is at <http://dbtroff.sourceforge.net/>. Collax manuals, which can serve as examples for the output produced, can be found at <http://www.collax.com/en/support/documentation.html#c614> and <http://www.collax.com/en/support/software-development-kit.html>.
