ClasspathX's JAXP implementation doesn't seem to ship with
an XSL processor at all. Are there any XSL transformators that
we could recommend for linking into the Gjdoc executable when
using Gjc? Aside from Gjc, are there any transformators that
we could recommend for inclusion in the CLASSPATH, for dynamic
linking?

Even if ClasspathX does not provide XSLT I would like to get
away from the System.exec() call necessary for spawning
xsltproc. Given that most JREs today include a JAXP-compatible
XSL transformation engine, and that several free engines are
available (if not GPLed), I expect it is otherwise unnecessary
to have this dependency.
