I've just added the very first steps to convert the Makefile in docbook/

I appreciate that :-)


So quite a few things are left, that's why I'm currently not generating
Makefile.in and Makefile but Makefile.auto.in and Makefile.auto.

But you seem to be on the way ...


Ulf: Is there any specific reason why  you do this:
edg_images:
       cp $(DOCBOOKXSL)/images/note.png ./edg_graphics
       cp $(DOCBOOKXSL)/images/tip.png ./edg_graphics
       cp $(DOCBOOKXSL)/images/warning.png ./edg_graphics

In the makefile instead of just copying them over and chekcing them in?
That's simply because I personnally don't like duplicates checked in. This way, if you have to update the images, you cannot forget to update it at other places, as there is only one :-)
If this copying is a problem for the Makefile generation (or complicate things much), just feel free to check them in at the other place and remove the copy from the Makefile.
