No, not yet. But I think that the case in which the problem occurs is a bit special.

I understand you :-). I find libxslt quite mature and consistent; it's fast and it
supports catalogs (xsltproc uses the SGML_CATALOG_FILES variable). Besides, such a C
library could be easily integrated as a LyX dependency (such as xform or any FE lib),
if it is seen something interesting (I can't decide for this :-). The other
interesting thing is that probably it is something provided in the default major
distributions (because it's a gnome project).
I will try to see how to use it to detect where the NW's DocBook XSLs are for the
db2lyx config (same as the java catalog classes use).
And you, have you tried to use any XSLT on your machine?
