I don't believe that is entirely correct, as I saw lots of tarballs and
such; however, it doesn't really matter, as Chris's comment that Cygwin uses
a makefile has me leaning in the direction of rolling our own documentation
makefiles.
There is an example makefile for building DocBook SGML at:
http://people.debian.org/~bortz//SGML-HOWTO/potato/x165.html
With such a makefile we should be able to change to DocBook XML, which would
be nice, as you had noted.
