To Andrew and Orion: I have updated (as of revision 12490) the old documentation build logic to make it much easier to understand for both the DOCBOOK_XML_BACKEND=OFF case (which now gets you the old SGML/DSSSL backend results) and the newly implemented default DOCBOOK_XML_BACKEND=ON case (as described above). Please give DOCBOOK_XML_BACKEND=OFF and the default DOCBOOK_XML_BACKEND=ON cases a try (using the -DBUILD_DOC=ON cmake option and the install target in doc/docbook/src) and let me know what you think of the results. Both those options currently work for me. DOCBOOK_XML_BACKEND=OFF should pretty much give you what was available before. For the default DOCBOOK_XML_BACKEND=ON case, pay attention to the messages from xmlto _at run time_. It will warn you if you need some additional packages installed such as fop. Unless there is something you guys dislike about these results that can be fixed in the short term, I am pretty much finished with it although there are some obvious issues mentioned in the commit message for revision 12490 that will need to be addressed in the long term.
