I think the issue was the following: when building kdelibs, kdoctools was used to generate documentation for the stuff in kdelibs. For this to work, there had to be a hardcoded path to the windows location of the docbook dtds inside some of the dtds from kdoctools. When installing, you would take a second copy of the configured file, and install that; this copy would have a relative path in it.
