Read DTD from $(DOC_MAIN_SGML_FILE).  Generate files with
this DTD (after some basic sanity check).  This way the user
can use any compatible DTD he wishes.

However, this shifts the responsibility of checking for the
right DTD from gtk-doc to the application (not a bad thing
in principle IMO, though gtk-doc.m4 should provide means to
add such check easily).  However, it does not lift the
requirement of some default version by gtk-doc itself.
