So we now have two ways to create PDFs. One is `htmldoc` and the other is
`cups-PDF`.

Although none of them at the time is integrated into our toolchain, they are not
bad at all to manually create some PDFs and upload them to fedora.redhat.com/docs/.

I prefer the second way for three reasons: It works, it gives us with no extra
work a high-quality PDF and CSS is effective there, so we can control the output
pretty well before getting the PDF.

I'll investigate producing PDFs from `make html-nochunks` and see whether the
CSS property `page-break-before:` works and try to make it more usable a bit.

Does anyone know whether we can use it from the command-line?
