A pair of perl script that commit a couple constructive atrocities to the
formatting of a valid sgml source :-) They're really ugly hacks but they get
the formatting almost right. For example, they manages to turn this:

<qandaentry><question>
<para>Which file do I download to get FreeBSD?</para></question><answer>
<para>Prior to release 3.1, you only needed one floppy image to install
FreeBSD, namely <filename>floppies/boot.flp</filename>. However,
since release 3.1 the Project has added base support for a wide
variety of hardware which needed more space, and thus for 3.x and 4.x
we now use two floppy images, namely
<filename>floppies/kernel.flp</filename> and
<filename>floppies/mfsroot.flp</filename>. These images need to be
copied onto floppies by tools like <command>fdimage</command> or
&man.dd.1;.</para>

In the actual FAQ context, each line would have 6 additional spaces in
front of it. Running time for the first book.sgml: About 7 seconds on
My AMD K6-3 400 :-)
It doesn't really matter if the input is properly formatted or not -
the script takes every single bit of formatting, drops it into the
trash bin and reformats. <programlisting>, <literallayout> and <screen>
elements are preserved, of course.

Consider it done.
