Yes, our properties.xsl used to do that for the 250 or

Keep in mind, for FOP's xml+xsl->fo->pdf, we don't
output an intermediate fo file.  So there may be *no*
redirected files to keep track of.

I'm unsure here--our extensions are just for
(additional) formatting objects, perhaps unrelated to
how many FO files are being processed.
