I've just tried to convert current DejaGnu documentation from the git repository into something printable. Unfortunately, this was a terrible endavour (especially compared to the ease of use of TeXinfo ;-), which seems typical for DocBook/XML-based manuals, and contrary to the claim on the DejaGnu homepage, the printable docu there is from the 1.4.4 release, not from the repo. I tried to use either xsltpro to output XML-FO and convert that to PDF using xep or fop or convert the XML directly with either of them, but every combination died a terrible death with incomprehensible error messages. Only after serious help from a colleague versed in XML matters could I find what was wrong: in user.xml. there was a table declared with 3 columns that actually had 5. After fixing that, at least I got PDF output. This is the trivial patch necessary. I'll probably provide doc (and other) feedback as well, since I plan to do some testsuite work in GCC.
