  Looked at it:
    - the entity resolver forbiding network access upon user option:
      -> moved into libxml2 as the new public interface from xmlIO.h
         xmlNoNetExternalEntityLoader()
	 cleaned up, removed --warnnet since it makes it really hairy
	 for no really useful purpose
	 activate with
	 xmlSetExternalEntityLoader(xmlNoNetExternalEntityLoader);

    - xsltProcess(): I tried to migrate it directly into libxslt,
      but:
        - you really don't want such an interface to output to stdout
	- nor sending the debug tree to stdout
	- you really don't want the timing either
	- you really don't want the repeat either
      So basically what's left after cleanup for integration as a generic
      function is xsltRunStylesheet(), it's already exported

    - usage()
      tied to xsltproc

    - main()
      parsing of options and a loop over the remaining argv calling
      xsltProcess()

  So basically except xmlNoNetExternalEntityLoader() everything is completely
specific to a command line based interface and clearly non-generic options
nor code.
  What's left is 500 lines, too specific for integration at a library level.
If you really need all this cruft (I really doubt it), then cut'n paste !
