Note that $DOCBOOKSTYLE/bin corresponds to the location of the file in
an unpacked source archive and $PATH is of course where programs
normally go.  The $DOCBOOKSTYLE/.. location makes no sense at all,
because that basically says that the installer intentionally moved the
file, but to a completely nonstandard location.
