I have been looking to reLyX, that is the older brother of db2lyx, and it
has a configure level that is very similar to what your script is doing.
So I should have some suggestions soon.

Yes. I agree here.
Did you try db2lyx with xlst from gnome. If that takes me the trouble to
keep java well installed and configured I will switch right now. :-)

hear before inserting.
OT did you read the discussion of the future of typesetting in the
docbook-apps mailling list. Funny to see Sebastian Rahtz opinion, basically
he thinks that latex is a dead end, since the latex expertise is shrinking
ever year. Also interesting was Michel Goossens reply.
My question is if we will ever see a latex 3? ....
