Hi!

I've currently moved in the gnome-db2html3.c file into yelp and
currently call it yelp-db2html.c (not commited yet). This can off course
be broken out just as easily and into a library. I'm going to do the
same for man and info. The other solution, while good for nautilus is
kinda of sucky for a help-only browser.

So, I'm really lame when it comes to these docbook stylesheets, can
someone with knowledge about this help me fix this so that you can cache
the chunks in some way. John do you have the knowledge needed to do
something similar to what KDE does?
