RE: [xsl] Command Line XSLT programs

[roger dot day at globalgraphics dot com]

This is (almost) what I do - except I use the cygwin shell on Win2000 and gnu
Makefile's to run a python script which uses the pyana module which uses XSLTC+

The script can even regenerate the makefiles for you if your're canny enough.
