For me, the documentation build fails without docbook-xsl. I wonder
why it works for you.

It also fails for me if I follow the instructions in the documentation:

If you use MacPorts, the following will get you set up:
<programlisting>
sudo port install docbook-xml-4.2 docbook-xsl fop
</programlisting>

I have to also 'port install libxslt'. Otherwise, /usr/bin/xsltproc
is used, and it won't use files installed by MacPorts packages.

And then it takes, like you reported originally, an insanely long time.
