My real idea was to get how whe LinuxDoc->DocBook conversion were done
and help the XF86 people do that conversion.  Looks like the xfree86.dtd is
based off the linuxdoc, so maybe the tools we used will work here as well.

The H-H only talked about the rendering tools.  I never got into
actual conversion from LD to DB.  I couldn't get it working.

And yes, maybe the LD stuff it still relevant as an appendix.  I'm kinda
waiting for Jorge for his documentation before I make major changes (he says
Thursday...)
