No, I was told to remove kdebuild-1 from the version sent to the
Council for approval. Doing so is just a case of toggling a switch in
PMS.

Also, until they were all mysteriously fired, Gentoo's KDE people were
planning to ask the Council for official approval of kdebuild-1 so that
it could remain in PMS. So that's still up in the air too.

And docbook does integrate with Gentoo? Please point me to other Gentoo
documentation that uses docbook.

Also, I've yet to be told how to get automatic, verified,
zero-work-upon-relocation cross-document links using either docbook or
guidexml. Perhaps you'd care to explain.
