I always thought it is a bad idea to think calling "db2html" will do the
right thing.  We do need some autoconf checks.

SuSE Linux also comes with "db2html", which is considered to be
backwards compatible.  By accident, the SuSE script defaults to use
suse-both.dsl (a pretty minimal customization style sheet), but it
respects a --style option; this might help in some situations.

It would be much better to call jade directly from the Makefiles.
