Turns out it's already packaged as `cygnus-stylesheets'.
I'm using the docbook-xml 4.1.2 DTD to write a man page; I'm using a
refentry whatchacallit... I've a lot of reading to do before I'll
know enough about SGML/XML to hold a conversation about it.
I did find out that "docbook-to-man" doesn't work right, but that
"docbook2man" does. I created a very nice little man page with
almost no extra stuffing inside it. The "docbook-to-man" made a man
page with just a preamble of some sort, then bombed out with a bunch
of errors. Perhaps it works with docbook SGML, and not the XML
version.
