It's no more there, yes. And I don't have a copy of it either. This
script was quite primitive btw, everyone with a scriptable parser (perl,
python, tcl...) and some knowlegde of DocBook and LaTeX should be able
to write a script that converts a given instance of (a subset of)
DocBook. And I'm quite sure that a lot of people have written such
throw-away scripts. The hard part is covering *all* DocBook markup in a
meaningful way and building LaTeX constructs from this which make
typographically sense. But I would like to see at least a extensible
framework to do such a conversion too.
