ANN: .NET XSLT command line utility, version 1.2

Changes since version 1.1:
- built-in support for 60 EXSLT extension functions
- support for custom extension functions
- minor bug fixes

nxslt is a small command line utility that allows to perform XSL
Transformations (XSLT)  using .NET Framework's XSLT implementation -
System.Xml.Xsl.XslTransform class. nxslt basically dublicates functionality
and command line options, provided by Microsoft's MSXSL.EXE Command Line
Transformation Utility with small difference: unlike msxsl.exe, nxslt does not
support specifying start mode. In addition, nxslt has some distinct advanced
features, like support for embedded stylesheets, custom URI resolving,
multiple result documents, custom extension functions, built-in rich library
of EXSLT extenstion functions etc.

nxslt is .NET Framework application, written in C# language and requires .NET
Framework version 1.0 to be installed.

nxslt supports rich library of 60 EXSLT extension functions [1], implemented
by Dare Obasanjo, see his "EXSLT: Enhancing the Power of XSLT" article[2].
EXSLT support is enabled by default and cannot be disabled in this version.
Full list of supported EXSLT functions is available at
http://www.tkachenko.com/dotnet/nxslt.html#exslt-funclist

nxslt allows to specify extension object classes, whose public methods then
can be used as extension functions in an XSLT stylesheet. -ext option must be
followed by a comma-separated list of namespace-qualified extension object
class names. Each class name must be bound to a namespace URI using prefix as
when providing XSLT parameters. -an and -af options can be used to specify an
assembly to load classes from in the same manner it's described in Custom URI
Resolving section. Here are some samples of using custom extension functions:

nxslt.exe source.xml style.xsl -ext Acme.Extensions xmlns="http://acme.com"
nxslt.exe source.xml style.xsl -ext a:Acme.Extensions xmlns:a="http://acme.com"
nxslt.exe source.xml style.xsl -ext a:Acme.Extensions,b:Acme.Ext2 \
    xmlns:a="http://acme.com" xmlns:b="http://acme2.com"
nxslt.exe source.xml style.xsl -ext a:Acme.Extensions \
    xmlns:a="http://acme.com" -af d:\acme\Extensions.dll

nxslt is freely available for download in precompiled Windows executable
form and in source code (complete Microsoft Visual Studio .NET C# project):
