 That sounds correct.  If I remember correctly the bibliography in the
 handbook was at one point a rather ad-hoc affair just using
 <listitems> and such and so there was a project to use a proper
 DocBook <bibliography>, done by Val Vaschetto at the suggestion of Nik
 and/or I.
 
 Books could then query/include those items from the proper
 bibliography that are referenced, and we wouldn't need to maintain all
 the bibliographical data in multiple books.
 
 That is the goal, but I think the reality is that it was never
 finished.
 
 In either case, the long term goal or the intermediate place we're at
 now, I don't think there is a need to have the bibliography directory
 added to the Makefile.
