Murray is the right person to tell us if this > is true, though. That sounds correct. If I remember correctly the bibliography in the handbook was at one point a rather ad-hoc affair just using <listitems> and such and so there was a project to use a proper DocBook <bibliography>, done by Val Vaschetto at the suggestion of Nik and/or I. Books could then query/include those items from the proper bibliography that are referenced, and we wouldn't need to maintain all the bibliographical data in multiple books. That is the goal, but I think the reality is that it was never finished. In either case, the long term goal or the intermediate place we're at now, I don't think there is a need to have the bibliography directory added to the Makefile. - Murray
