Just keep them all in the same directory. You'll have to change db2man.xsl
to point to the location of the common/common.xsl file of the docbook
stylesheets. Then just use db2man.xsl as the docbook.xsl in the other
stylesheets (html, FO; I should probably rename db2man.xsl to docbook.xsl
at some point)

sect23.xsl is some stuff that I was using on xml that describes functions
and stuff (for in section 2 and 3 of man). I haven't looked at that in
a long time. It predates the rest of the files, and isn't in any way 
connected to them yet.


Hope this helps,
Martijn
