I have been asking around if anyone would mind adding libxslt as a dependency for this cycle. So far, I have had no complaints. This would allow not only us but also the average user to write input and output filters.
Bryce mentioned that the requirement should not be bleeding edge. So I found this pkg-config file, libxslt.pc, on RH7.3, which seems good enough, so requiring libxslt >=1.0 should be sufficient.
Could someone add this dep to configure.ac, if it is OK with everyone?
