Thank you Luigi, that covers it.  Is there any point in expanding that  
section to also point to docs.kde.org?

Related question - I'm trying to use docbooc2man, but it complalins  
about not finding dtd/kdedbx45.dtd even if I specify the location with  
-s.  It also complains about docbook2man-spec.pl, either not finding  
it, or something else if I use -s for it's location.  Is this  
documented somewhere?  I hate to do a full compile of the program just  
for this one file conversion.

Jack
