    OK, I agree with you. This is what my ideal world of free software looks like
    :)

    I am trying to figure out the guide but ran into numerous problems.

    First I tried to install the sources of docbook-utils from Debian
    sources, either with or without their patch. Neither of them installs the required db2html
    script db2html.

    Then I tried to install docbook-utils-0.6.13 from freshmeat.net's docbook-utils
    entry. It required jade (some kind of UNIX editor) jade required librep (LISP
    interpreter and virtual machine) librep first seemed to require gmp but then I
    discovered it can be built without GMP

    Having installed librep and jade, I tried to compiile the docbook-utils-0.6.13
    but it crashes during make on cryptic message:

    make[2]: Entering directory `/home/clock/docbook-utils-0.6.13/doc/HTML'
    SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/etc/sgml/catalog \
    SGML_SEARCH_PATH=../..:../../doc:.. \
            jade -t sgml -i html -d ../../docbook-utils.dsl\#html \
                    -V '%use-id-as-filename%' ../../doc/docbook-utils.sgml
    make[2]: *** [api.html] Error 5
    make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/clock/docbook-utils-0.6.13/doc/HTML'
    make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
    make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/clock/docbook-utils-0.6.13/doc'
    make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

    Do you have any suggestion what it could be? All the prerequisites
    seem to be installed.
