The problem we hit here is paths.  I can get the automatic glossary generation 
to work, only by providing a full path to the stylesheet, and obviously we 
don't have the installed path at compile time, and it may change during 
installation. 

Including entry-by-entry entities into the smaller docs is the only other way 
to do it, but may in fact create some quite complex dependencies (or, will 
make every doc with a glossary in fact depend on the base glossary.) I can 
see a couple of distributions really hating that, but it would work.
