Actually, writing a simplistic javadoc to docbook converter ("doclet")
turned out to be rather easy. I can create <refentry> pages for the
relevant classes and put them where the current text is.
The result is a bit ugly, actually, because javadoc does not have the rich
structure that docbook has, while none of docbook's structure actually
matches the javadoc format, so it would still be of interest to have the
full javadoc/html set available.
