Personally I would prefer to see these changes just patched permanently
in git (and rename s/.sgml/.xml/), so that the Makefile can simply be
something like

html: $(patsubst %.xml,%.html,$(wildcard lxc-*.xml))
	xsltproc http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/html/docbook.xsl $< >$@

...then Rob (or anyone else) can simply do "make -C doc html" or so in
their favourite git checkout.


PS: instead of HTML=$(echo $i | sed 's/\.sgml\.in$/.html/') try
HTML="${i%.sgml.in}.html".  See PATTERN SUBSTITUTIONS in the bash
manpage, though this is POSIX portable sh.
