make complains about lacking Makefiles in the directories appendices, oct, and
standalone, but those errors are harmless.  At any rate, I could compile the
PDF file from the DocBook source with:

    make pdf

and the following patch:

The compilation triggered a lot of warnings and there are no page numbers in
the table of contents.  Otherwise, the document looks fine.     

I am using version 0.6.11 of package docbook-utils in a Debian system.
