Bryan,

Is the

build/$(LINGUA)/source/hgbook.xml

produced before the Java/Apache/FOP mess comes into play? In other words, 
does the J/A/FOP just transform xml to pdf/html? This looks like the case 
from the Makefile. If so,

dblatex build/en/source/hgbook.xml

produces a usable pdf. Though I suppose you still want to feed it the 
style sheets somehow.

                                                                Faheem
