It looks like the easiest way to integrate such a behavior into the
current Makefile would be not as a separate DocBook->DocBook transform
in advance, but simply by editing the existing stylesheet-fo.xsl that
produces the FO input for generating the PDF.

That would mean learning some FO, which I've wanted to do for a while,
but haven't yet, so it stops looking like something I might experiment
with this afternoon. OTOH, it could mean more flexibility in how the
presentation should look.

I note in passing that the google result [1] is nonempty....
