They used to be scattered between the "backup and restore" and "streaming
replication" chapters.

This switches the man page building process to use the DocBook XSL stylesheet
toolchain. The previous targets for Docbook2X are removed. configure has been
updated to look for the new tools. The Documentation appendix contains the
new build instructions. There are also a few isolated tweaks in the
documentation to improve places that came out strangely in the man pages.

Set up proper makefile dependencies in the documentation build rules,
especially around the HTML/index build. The problem we've had with all
previous solutions is that we have used the same file name, such as HTML.index
or bookindex.sgml, to mean different things at different stages of the build,
and make can't distinguish that. The solution here is that the first jade run
produces HTML.index, but does not require bookindex.sgml at all, and produces
no other html output (the latter an idea from Alvaro). The second jade run
includes bookindex.sgml, but does not recreate HTML.index. That way, when you
change an sgml file, jade is run twice and at the end all dependencies are
satisfied. Omitting the html output in the first stage also makes the full
build a lot faster.
When you run one of the print format targets, only the first jade run is run,
then the print target-specific commands. If an HTML build has completed
previously, the first jade run is skipped because the dependencies have
already been satisfied.
The draft and check targets for quick builds and syntax verification are still
there.

introductory chapter, as-is except for fixing some markup errors,
so that there would be a place for the reference pages to link to.

Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:
may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."
can - ability, "I can lift that log."
might - possibility, "It might rain today."
Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice. Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".
Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

Clean up the trigger documentation a bit. Push SPI chapter to the end
of its part, and reorder the Internals chapters into what seems a more
sensible order (at the moment anyway).

Still needs to be filled with more information, but it gives us a
framework to have a User's Guide with complete coverage of the basic
SQL operations. Move arrays into data type chapter, inheritance into
DDL chapter (for now).
Make <comment>s show up in the output while the version number ends in

Fix up references to "PostgreSQL" rather than "Postgres". Was roughly

Make version.sgml the central place for updating version numbers in the
documentation. Document titles now contain the version number of the
release they belong to.
filelist.sgml is the central (and only) place to declare system entities
(i.e., sgml files). No longer a need to declare them in each document
header.
There is no longer any need to maintain duplicate chapter lists in
postgres.sgml and user/admin/etc.sgml, everything is build from the same
sources. Some parameter entities allow for different text to be included
when the integrated or a single doc set is generated, which eliminates the
problems that had caused this to fail in the past.
