Eamon Walsh recently converted the sources to DocBook so that HTML
& PDF can be easily built as well.   I understand having both sources
and .PS.gz files in three when the tools needed were not freely available,
like the FrameMaker docs, but I wonder if that's still needed for the
DocBook forms.   (We could generate various formats at tarball generation
time, but I think then we'd want the pure source tarball, and tarballs
of generated HTML, PDF, Postscript, so that people who wanted pre-formatted
docs could just grab the right format.)
