Alternately, the "book" application could be entirely seperate, using the new
Horde application/browse API to select anything at all - so you could build a
"book" of some wiki pages, some files from Gollem, an appendix of a task list
from Nag...

This would make it more complicated to do docbook/pdf type generation, 
but very
flexible overall...
