gtk-doc doesn't use db2html. gtkdoc-mkhtml calls jade directly
mostly because it needs to pass in '-w no-idref'.

The reasonably convenient 'jw' script from docbook-utils allows
passing in a fair range of argument. I don't know if there is
anything corresponding exactly to -E, though the ability to
do the equivalent of -w someerr was recently added.
