Stop already!  Sorry, but those are libraries and we need a complete 
solution for docbook to PDF transformation, as I said in another message, 
the hard part isn't writing the PDF, it's paginating the document, that's 
why no one has written a home-grown solution, now would it be sensible to 
try when there are already complete working solutions IMO.
