Apart from all the abrasive debate currently surrounding this topic, I WOULD be
interested in learning how to use XSLT to dynamically generate build files... HOWEVER,
I haven't been able to find a good tutorial on it yet. While something on using XSLT
to format XML documents in general is nice, what I'm really looking for is a tutorial
on how to use XSLT to build an Ant script dynamically. Furthermore, if the tutorial
was written specifically to address the umpteen "I need to ______ a directory which
may or may not have x subdirectories in it" posts out here, that would be fantastic.

I would like to use XSLT in conjunction with Ant, I just need to be shown how. So
does anyone out there know of anything like this, or would be willing to whip up
something like this?
