BTW, am I right is assuming the scripts `db2html', `db2ps' &c. are
wrapper scripts that invoke `jade' with the appropriate options?

If so, it may be useful if you extracted the scripts into a separate
package.  This would be useful to 

	- People who compile/install Jade on non-RPM enabled systems
	- People who use Debian

If I am wrong, just ignore the request.
