That's fine with me.  Can someone who is familiar with DocBook
write a small script that does "the right thing", including this
topic.dat generation so that all the author has to do is something
like:

gen-gnome-docs mydocs.sgml

and all the cool stuff drops out?  I think if it were that easy
we might have a little more docs on GNOME programs.
