  Hi Horst,
        the last step that we need to do that is to discover how docbook translation
is done for different setup/distribution.

  We need this at configuration time, to have a decent default if the user has docbook
support. Then we need to know how it is called.

  The list that I have already is:

   * sgmltools v2.0 installed:

        sgmltools executable found in $PATH
                
        \docbook_dvi "sgmltools -b dvi $$FName"

   * The default red hat 6.* docbook tools 

        db2html executable found in $PATH

        db2ps is the tool that is most similar to the intend

   * Suse docbook tools?

        I have one computer with them installed but I didn't have the time look it...

   * custom
        ........

   * others?

  Can you or anyone fill the gaps?

  After that we can implement it safely...
