Description

It would be nice to have this reference as a PDF document.
I've tried several solutions: htmldoc, docbook-xsl + fop and dblatex. Actually dblatex gives the best result.

To generate the PDF file:

make guide-dblatex

To generate the tex file:

make SUFFIX=tex guide-dblatex

Commited in r94337. The guide will not automatically be generated in PDF format on the server (see source:trunk/base/portmgr/jobs/GuideRegen.sh). Should we add this and offer the guide download as PDF?
