Hi,

after some manual interventions (which must become part of an algorithm) 
it's possible to created the complete PDF file for the db4 production 
chain: *.sgml -- (perl) --> *.xml and after that step: postgres.xml -- 
(evaluate XInclude with xmllint) --> postgres_all.xml -- (xsltproc using 
standard db4 stylesheet) --> postgres_all.fo -- (fop) --> 
postgres_all.pdf. The fo/pdf generation takes about 1 minute.

Actually the layout of the resulting pdf file differs from the original 
one as I used only standard scripts without any adoption to the 
PostgreSQL styles. Additionally I'm missing some of the links.
