[OpenAFS-Doc] docbook conversion of QuickStartUnix

[ted creedon]

The aforementined htmltolatex perl script on my ftp server does all that,
tables, figures, etc.

All you have to do is emit docbook instead of tex. Html2latex parses the
tided up html and stores it in an internal tree structure.

i used this patch to an older version of tidy to do the bulk of the
conversion:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=1650&style=flat&viewda
y=1&viewmonth=200207

i had to make a few modifications (modify hN handling, multiple text nodes,
and some list changes) and they arent very pretty.  you dont get to see my
brain damaged coding).  some assorted perl scripts removed the headers and
footers, extracted and reinserted the index terms.

things that dont have a clear representation in html, like figures and
tables need to be converted manually.

i pretty happy with the existing conversion.  only the windows quickstart
document need converted although its more likely its entire content will
need replaced.  I suppose i could convert the 3.6 releasenotes as well but
they should be written from scratch for the 1.4 release.
