I'm glad to see libxslt library getting some loving, it was sorely in
need of it.

Some months ago we discussed this with regards to libxml. The same
applies to libxslt. That is, the name needs to transition to
"libxslt", dropping the "-ruby".

I'll take a peak at it as soon as I finish up what I working on at the

That would require creating a new rubyforge project. Do you think it's
worth the transition?
