For doing the processing, I've got libxslt[1], along with Norm Walsh's
DocBook XSL stylesheets[2], and Tim Waugh's xmlto[3].  

XMLto is just a front-end to save on typing, but it's a nice one.  The
other important bit to get running are XML catalogs, since without them
you'll have to download the stylesheets and the DTD over the net a lot,
which makes things darn slow.
