You keep respawning child (processes) until all resources,
are exhausted! ;-)

Well yes and no, with so much time...

Pro:

 - because the docbook-xml + gettext method is one of the best ways I
   saw to keep up multilanguage translation effort is an efficiently manner
 - context help search works out of the box and this is really a "good thing"
 - the produced HTML is very good and works with every browser I know of

Cons:

 - pdf make is not working very especially with oriental languages
 - many important languages are missing, arabic for a start...
 - doc.gimp.org site design is really very poor, it seems to me made in year 2000 ...

... the good thing is that I want to address some of these issues
... or die in the try ... ;-)

bye
