OK, here's the moment where we have to acknowledge the
manual situation
here.  We can't use our current toolchain as it stands
because 'xmlto'
doesn't support FOP.

I've just requested that Tommy's way old patch be renewed
and applied:

ht
tps://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=147472

That would allow us to use our toolchain with rawhide to
test the full
stack.

Otherwise, we need to process manually, and, uh ... I'm
forgetting how
to do that.  Anyone know how, off-hand?

The basics are:

xmlto fo Book.xml
fop -fo Book.fo -pdf Book.pdf

Limitations of this approach:

xmlto doesn't allow you to pass useful parameters to
xsltproc
The default DocBook style sheets produce ugly PDFs
