The Saxon DTDGenerator only handles one input document, but I've used it for this scenario in the past, simply by concatenating all the documents within a dummy root element, generating the DTD, and then discarding the dummy root element definition. (It doesn't need to be a physical concatenation, you can set up a document that brings all the others in as external entities). I produced a new version of the DTDGenerator a couple of weeks ago, as it happens - the first release for 6 years, fixing a bug that caused it to slowly eat memory in proportion to the number of distinct attribute values. After fixing that, I was able to process 20Gb of input in about 25 minutes. It's available as a free-standing download from the Saxon project on sourceforge.
