I think the only steps that can be automatized is the removal of the 
sgml header and adding the xml one and changing the extension from sgml 
to xml (there are entities referenced to user, devel and faq files).

For sgml the header was:

<!DOCTYPE Book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook V4.2//EN" [

Now for xml should be:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<!DOCTYPE book PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.2//EN"
        "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.2/docbookx.dtd"
[

In sgml was:

<!ENTITY user SYSTEM "dispatcher_user.sgml">
<!ENTITY faq SYSTEM "dispatcher_faq.sgml">

In xml should be:

<!ENTITY user SYSTEM "dispatcher_user.xml">
<!ENTITY faq SYSTEM "dispatcher_faq.xml">

The rest I did were errors and had to be fixed by hand.

However, first we have to wait for Henning to commit the updated version 
following the latest patch you sent. The we can work, having a working 
sgml version.

Cheers,
Daniel
