>Guide (15 mn and 60 MBytes of memory use).

>This is free software available under the LGPL or a licence similar to
>the W3C IPR.  It should be portable, it is know to work on Linux. BSD,
>Solaris, and there is Windows makefiles for MSC. The libraries are written
>in pure C and have no other requirement than the C standard and some
>POSIX constructs. The licences allows to embed it in commercial products.

>  I would like to thanks Red Hat for supporting this effort since its
>inception in January this year, the various contributors to this project
>especially Bjorn Reese and William Brack, and everybody who reported bugs,
>provided patches, ideas or reused it in other projects (KDE, Gnome, AxKit,
>etc.), and the Gnome project in general http://www.gnome.org/ .
>
>  I hope it will help reusing XSLT in areas where the price, processing
>cost or portability had been so far a problem.
