No, that's something else, although it's functionally equivalent :-)

docbook2man is part of docbook-utils, which you can find at
<ftp://sources.redhat.com/pub/docbook-tools/new-trials/SOURCES/>

This is starting to look like a mess. I'll try to get something better
for 2.8 (like, not require you to build the manpage; I can do that
myself, and make the built manpage part of the distributed tarball).

Heh. We'll see :-)

note that gznbd isn't really supported ATM (as in, "it might work, but
it might just as well not, it's not documented, and I don't really care
about security here"). I plan to merge it into the "main" nbd-server at
some point in the future, but not just yet. Patches are welcome, but see
http://nbd.sf.net/roadmap.html :-)
