DOCBOOK-APPS: sgml2x 0.99.6 released

[Yann Dirson <ydirson@fr.alcove.com>]

sgml2x 0.99.6 is out.  This is the first release-candidate for 1.0.0.

This release fixes a huge problem that prevented printable stylesheet
to work when refering to relative-path images, which was workaround by
not using a temporary dir any more.

It also has the last new features before 1.0 gets released: dssslproc
config file, and declaration of stylesheet inheritance, and a change
which should have been done much earlier: style definitions now in a
styles/ subdir to make room for dssslproc and future additions.

sgml2x allows to easily format a SGML or XML document using DSSSL
style-sheets, and provides the following features:

   - Multiple possible style-sheets per document class

   - Easy specification of style-sheets using aliases

   - Easy integration of new style-sheets by adding a simple new
   definition file in a configuration directory

   - The caller can specify a PATH-like list of configuration
   directories, defaulting to a system-wide, a per-user, and a
   per-project configuration directories

   - Automatic selection of a default style-sheet to be used, based on
   assigned priorities

   - Pass arbitrary options to jade(1)

The document-class used to look for the style-sheets, and the output
format, is for now only derived from the name with which the program
is called, so you will want to call this program through symbolic
links like docbook-2-pdf.

sgml2x is a implemented as a shell wrapper around jade(1) (or,
preferably, openjade(1), although we use the generic name jade
throughout this documentation), jadetex(1) and other tools.
