Part of the strategy here is that instead of coming up with a DragonFly
version of scr2png, we delete the .scr files (screen captures produced by
vidcontrol) and put in .png equivalents.  It seems unnecessary to put
logic into the doc build system to convert these when we can just put in
converted files, as it's not hard to produce .pngs.

If you need to build this, the needed pkgsrc packages appear to be
netbsd-doc, libxslt, docbook-xsl, ghostscript-gnu, netpbm, and jade to
generate HTML ('make').

tex-jadetex is needed to generate the PDF version ('make book.pdf').

It produces the web pages fine, however, creating the PDF produces this
error:

I don't know the immediate cause; there may be a package missing that's
needed, or something else.  I don't think the .scr file removal could
cause this.  I'll test more tomorrow.  If anyone else wants to take a
crack at it, please do.
