I tried to play with the different possibilities today for a short while.
Without really trying I did not get any output from just using the xsl from
http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/Html2DocBook .

The result from http://toolserver.org/~magnus/wiki2xml/w2x.php looks 
somewhat promising, I could get some docbook. I took the most stupid 
approach of simply pasting the entire wiki page into the web form.
The result compiled to the html manual again with meinproc4. But it is far 
from usable. In the end only introduction and one other part made it into 
the resulting html.

I did not yet invest further as I'm quite busy already.

If anyone finds how to get the wiki page converted to docbook, I owe you 
cookies (and/or a beer).
Please let me know and coordinate with Burkhard.

Cheers
Frederik
