I think db2ps is somewhat broken (I haven't been able to get it to ps'ify any
of the docs on my system.)  However, `db2dvi foo.sgml` followed by
`dvips -o foo.ps foo.dvi` seems to work fine.  (db2ps is just a script that
does this with a few error checks... should find out why it's failing....)

Could you also look into rpm'ing the docbook to man formatter?  I haven't had
time to look into this yet.... (If you don't have time either would you like
to put it on your site once I do have time, so all the docbook tools are in
one place?)
