But they exist on all recent distros :-)
If you don't have them, it's rather difficult to download
and compile these tools. However, one kind soul has
created a little script that allow to strip the sgml 
formatting and create text files instead :

#!/bin/sh
#<wine>/documentation/*.sgml reader (c) 2000- Lawson Whitney
# Use, distribute, or change at your own risk.
sed -e 's/<[^<>]*>//g' -e 's/&lt;/</g' -e 's/&gt;/>/g' $1 |less -ni
