dblatex hack I am working on for KDE (will work out of the box for Kubuntu 
docs style wise). I am in the process of creating a function for KHelpCenter 
(KDE 4 timeline) that will allow users to automatically create a PDF from a 
help topic in KHelpCenter. This same dblatex hack would also work with this 
as well. I know Matt East has used Apache-FOP in the past and it has seemed 
to work 99% of the time for us, so we can still do it this way if needbe, 
or...

We create a script people can download to convert the docs into PDF possibly. 
Asking users to setup Apache-FOP is like telling them to hurry up and build a 
rocket to get to the moon, or fixing dropped cellular calls :)
