This isn't all that hard to do with a bit of autoconf/automake magic:
with a bit of tweaking, you can get the generated files into the
tarball that "make dist" creates.  (If you have trouble, e-mail me and
I'll tell you the mysterious invocation needed to get this to work.)

BTW, I spoke to (GDP leader) Dan Mueth the other day; he told me that
there was a "documentation summit" at the O'Reilly Open Source show
last week.  Representatives from many the various free software
documentation projects all met and decided to standardize on DocBook.
So moving your docs to DocBook is probably a good idea.
