[oe] more observations on the usermanual dir and docbook translation

[Robert P. J. Day]

  since i've done a fair bit of docbook processing, i took a quick
look at the usermanual dir, and here's another observation from the
README, where it reads:

  For html and xhtml you need xsltproc installed.
  For the other you need docbook-utils installed.

at least under fedora, that's not all -- you'll need the
docbook-utils-pdf package as well:

$ rpm -ql docbook-utils-pdf
/usr/bin/db2dvi
/usr/bin/db2pdf
/usr/bin/db2ps
/usr/bin/docbook2dvi
/usr/bin/docbook2pdf
/usr/bin/docbook2ps
/usr/share/man/man1/db2pdf.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/docbook2dvi.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/docbook2pdf.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/docbook2ps.1.gz
$

  not sure what the situation is under other distros.  also, the last
time i looked, most output formats can now be generated with no
reference to SGML or DSSSL or jade, but i'd have to go back and verify
that.  (pdf output can be generated using fop.)

  if no one else wants to handle this, i can start putting together
patches to bring that directory up to date as long as i can do it in
bite-size pieces.
