BTW, simply calling `db2html' might produce unwanted results on some
systems -- at least I know, Mark's script is a little bit different from
the one shipped with SuSE Linux (maintained by me).  Since  SuSE's
db2html knows about a switch --style, it's possible to plug-in the
right[tm] style sheet.

Tomorrow I'll make a new pre-release my script; an announcement will
follow.

In the end I'm wondering whether it would be better to avoid calling
`db2html' at all and instead to call `jade' directly?
