If db2dvi is so hard to find on a typical installation, you (the GHC docs
person, Reuben, I think?) might just want to duplicate its functionality. I
am pretty sure that all db2dvi (and db2{ps,rtf,..}) is is just glue that finds
the DocBook DTD, stylesheets, entities and other stuff and then just calls
jade with the right output type option to do the actual formatting, so it's
really a one-liner if you know the locations of the files (OK, big "if" on a
Unix system...).
