if you pass -DKDE4_ENABLE_HTMLHANDBOOK=1 to cmake, then
you'll get a make target generated called "htmlhandbook".

then you should be able to run 'make htmlhandbook' in the docs/foo subdirs.
For example, cd kdepim/build/doc/korganizer; make htmlhandbook
will generate the html for the KOrganizer handbook.

something similar could be done for pdf output I suppose.
