gah, I would appreciate your help very much. But I do think that it's
kinda weird that libxslt goes out on the net fetching stylesheets
without notifying the caller about it.

I am just trying to figure out how to solve this issue (since this is
probably the single biggest problem in Yelp right now).

I also think that it's kinda weird that I in Yelp will have to know of
all the stylesheets that might get pulled in by yelp-customization.xsl
so that I can check if they exists before I call
xsltParseStylesheetFile. Which btw is located in libxslt/xsltInternals.h
(which seems kinda weird since it's the way proposed by the xslt
tutorial).
