Indeed. But in any case, the docbook/jade stuff is something that
docs writers and package maintainers should have to deal with, not end
users. End users should just get compiled html installed where it's
supposed to be installed with no fuss required. If a "make" is calling
for db2html on a distributed package, that's a bug, not a feature.
