One thing to know is that there are two pdf backends for xmlto. One of
them uses fop, and I've definitely used docbook rendered to pdf from
fop before. The docbook toolchain for fop is a little more involved,
but it produces good results. Will try it out a little later.

First time I tried, the passiveTex backend was missing (this is the other backend). I found the package xmltex which provided it. <BR>

Use fop for formatting. Default is still passivetex, installation
doesn´t check for fop availability. It is an experimental option,
expects fop in specific location, could be changed manually in
xmlto script by modification of FOP_PATH
The command issued from the makefile uses passiveTex:
/usr/bin/xmlto -m ./doc/xfs-design.xsl -o doc pdf ./doc/xfs-design.xml
