Ok, in that case I guess you really want to know more about the metabook
format ;)
Actually there is a documentation about the metabook format in the
mwlib/docs directory (should also be located in the site-packages dir of
mwlib as described below for mwlib.rl)
I'll also attach a small script which constructs a json encoded metabook
file. The input is a list of chapters, with an associated list of
articles and their display titles.
If you constructed a metabook (with the script I attached for example)
you can render a pdf by using the -m option for the metabook instead of
a zipfile.
e.g.
mw-render -w rl -o test.pdf -c http://en.wikipedia.org/w -m mbook.json
One thing to note: the attached script is a somewhat quick and dirty
hack, so don't hold me responsible for anything related to that ;)

If your on some kind of linux they should be in the site-packages directory
so something like:
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/mwlib.rl/mwlib/rl/pdfstyles.py
The customconfig.py file does not exist - you have to create it and then
override the settings from pdfstyles.py.
If you checked out the sources with mercurial, the pdfstyles.py file can
by found in the source-tree you checked out.

ok.
Regarding the TOC: just a couple of days ago I implemented an alpha
version of a TOC which is not used currently.
