We make the DocBook DTD package a requirement, clearly.  We're using the
standard DocBook DTD, as are lots of other projects.  To ship our own
version simply doesn't make good sense.  We should do the same thing
with Norm's stylesheets as well (although we need to ship our
customization layer ourselves).
