That's right. To use Peter's work, you need to checkout CVS HEAD, cd
into doc/src/sgml, "make postgres.xml" which build a valid XML file.

Next step depends on the output format you want to get. To get HTML
output from XSLT file, execute "make xslthtml". This target use
stylesheet.xsl which customizes a bit the XSLT stylesheets for XHTML
available from docbook.sourceforge.net. To get .fo output (required to
build a PDF file), "make postgres-A4.fo". This command will use the
stylesheet-fo.xsl file. This file is just a pointer to XSLT stylesheets
for PDF available from docbook.sourceforge.net. Simple but effective.

A summary :
 * to build HTML manual with XSLT :
   make postgres.xml
   make xslthtml
 * to build PDF manual with XSLT :
   make postgres.xml
   make postgres-A4.fo
   fop.sh postgres-A4.fo postgres-A4.pdf

I think my fop install is broken because I'm not able to build the PDF
file...

Peter, if I said something stupid, please, tell it. This is just what I
understood from your mail and the Makefiles/xslt files you provide.

Regards.
