I'd have done this another way, to allow processing to print as well
as HTML, by modifying eg. code2html to be able to produce docbook tags
instead of HTML tags (should not be that hard), and having a
pre-processor phase that would feed each programlisting to the tagger
and reconstruct a docbook file with tagged programlisting's.

Indeed such a thing is on my TODO list, although there are many many
other things on top of it.
