I guess that would be either 'no docbook2man', or 'no docbook-to-man',
db2man is the wrapper script in coda/tools/.

Is the which failure output to stdout or stderr? Maybe I can redirect it
to /dev/null. I don't really know of other ways to discover whether a
program is installed or not, perhaps the following works?

  sh_which () {
    ( IFS=: ; for p in $PATH ; do [ -x "$p/$1" ] && echo "$p/$1" ; done )
  }

I wanted to add the pre-formatted nroff manpages too, for people who
don't have docbook. However that didn't work well in my setup with
separate source and build directories. If anyone has a solution for
that, I'm open for suggestions.
