Yes, I believe if you just select "xmlto" in setup.exe it pulls in all the
necessary files except the FAQ source and XSL customizations, which 
will be in CVS. Plus, as I mentioned earlier the User's Guide is already
DocBook (has been from the start) so it's not like this is a totally new
format. In fact it's easier to use than the current FAQ, see below.

It's even worse than that. The htdocs/faq/update script that creates the FAQ 
relies on the specific output format of texi2html 1.56k. I don't remember 
exactly what newer versions do differently but they don't work. We could easily 
put 1.56k in CVS--I would actually probably put it in htdocs/faq/ to get 
everything in one place, after all there's already an "update" script there.
