I fetched the above mentioned FreeBSD Makefiles and adapted them
especially to Debian/GNU Linux (pathnames, etc.). Up to now there is no
additional documentation except the .mk files itself - and the original
posting of Nik of course!
You will find a tarball at: http://www.miwie.org/docbkmake/
Feedback is welcome :-)

PS: The FreeBSD .mk files are Berkeley Make Makefiles, so you need a
compatible Berkeley Make on your system (pmake for Debian).
