There is no XML stage for our docs, and even if there was we'd need new
targets to build the Slony and PostgreSQL docs in XML without processing
them (not really a problem I realise), and then some way to merge them
all together before processing with the HTMLHelp stylesheet. Happy to
see some patches though if you think you can make it work :-)
