Will look around. I could probably get the Souvenir stuff working out, it's
just that it was getting in the way and decided to remove it in order to work
faster.

Conversion of images from GIF to EPS or PDF is rather easy (thanks to
Imagemagick). I guess I didn't include it (now that I see that the there is a
XSLT handle for the <illustration> class) because I did not use the proper
paramters to say which illustrator's images to use. I guess that's what the
'-PARAM use-illustrators \"$USE_ILLUSTRATORS\"' parameter was for, right?

Ah. The Spanish translation, after sending you the PDF I did some small
changes to be able to handle the Spanish XML file Raul sent me [0], since it was
not complete (the header sections, and rule sections, were missing) I used
the english one, generated, and forwarded Raul a PDF copy of the Spanish
translation:
* using Babel - \usepackage[spanish]{babel}
* setting the document size to A4
* fixing the same stuff (twoside/oneside) of the English one
PDF conversion from LaTeX worked like a charm, I didn't have any issue
with accented characters.

book which I might try to give a hand in doing.
