RE: [xslt] xlstproc from Ant - can't create directories using -o?

Daniel:

It looks to me as though we're being dead-ended in xmlFileOpenW while trying
to create the file in xmlFileOpenW where fdopen succeeds if the directory
already exists.  If it doesn't, fdopen fails and we drop back to
xmlOutputBufferCreateFilename with a null context.  From what I can see no
attempt is ever made to create the directory chain after that.  This opinion
is based on a relatively short debugging session so maybe there's more to
it.
