It looks like it is just using the DocBook XSL stylesheets (from the 
docbook/xsl/html/chunk.xsl part of the command).  You can get those from 
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21935

When I first started working on my Vim HOWTO, I had to use the SGML 
tools under Linux but used the XML tools in Windows.  The only 
conversion I had to do from SGML -> XML was to add

<?xml version="1.0"?>

as the first line above the DOCTYPE, and change the DOCTYPE itself to 
V4.2, since that is what the XML stuff was written to use.  I also had 
to add the DTD to the DOCTYPE, but I don't know if that was specific to 
the tool I use or not.

Basically, my first line went from

<!doctype article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.1//EN"
[
	<!-- Entity list -->
]>

to

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.2//EN" 
"../../dtd/docbookx.dtd"
[
	<!-- Entity list -->
]>
