   So...tell me why you used Saxon?

[insert smiley here]

Seriously, Python, Perl, Cygwin and others are all perfectly valid (IMHO)
open source things.  The ant community already loves gump as they view it
as a very extensive test suite.  I probably have identified one regression
a week for the last month in Ant alone, and have fixed between half to a
third of them myself.

Meanwhile, what I implemented was 100% XSLT, batch files, shell scripts,
and a little sed.  Initially, I also was a little concerned about where it
should go, and the clear consensus was that it was wanted here.

Meanwhile, I certainly am not anti-ant.  I'm starting to commit your work
incrementally, and have already made a suggestion on how to approach other
issues that you have encountered with respect to Ant.
