libXSLT dependency

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?

I'm all for it. I love XSLT :)

Ok. I added libxslt >= 1.0.15, which is on RH7.3 and should be old enough for everybody.

Now, can you please do a hello-world XSLT filter, with some documentation? So people would know where to start from?
Something that I asked on the room, and that I guess I should ask here also, is, should we:
a) Add xslt import/export to the existing set of dialog panels and extensions, or...
b) Make a new dialog that grabs 2 names for source file and stylesheet for import and 1 name for the stylesheet for export?
